Clean surface and no flux needed just copper/phosphorus rods,they do this nicely. But their liquidus temperature is over 1700f to 1800f so a two gas torch works best. Propane/O2.........mapp/O2.......Acetylene/O2. If a rod melts but the repair looks gooby or didn't flow you only got to the rods solidus temperature.
Somehow I knew you had a pic.  |
Here's two more pics..
I've been thinking about this for a while.. But while it's so cold, I'm delaying trying to find the leak..
I have a buddy that has some portable torch equipment. He might be able to give me a hand, once I find the hole..
