So I got each one hot, got a thin coating of brazing rod melted onto
each one, then slapped them together and heated the back of the
accessible piece.

Poof! *Instant bond. *What a joy brazing is.

Is this an accepted procedure? *Are there any pitfalls that I should
know of? *How likely is it that I've got a joint that's mostly flux?

I have had a welding friend do this for me several times.

The latest was a badly messed shank on a Silver Deming 1" drill. I
cleaned up what was left of the shank in my lathe and made a close
fitting sleeve that fit up to the body of the drill, as well as the
remaining shank for it. My friend coated both items with brazing rod,
and while hot jammed the sleeve and drill bit together. I now have a
restored 1" Silver Demimg drill bit.

I am sure this has been done before and others thought it was simply a
routine procedure.
