Well, that's a good friend to have.

I must say that having:


The right tool - MAPP gas & torch, or better


The right material - 5 to 15% silver/phosphorous rod


The right technique - copper glowing cherry red

...makes all the difference.

Good luck, and please take lots of pics to share with us..
