    micro torch

    I have had no luck with the small propane torches, like the ones from Radioshack, in the area of silver soldering. An old smith told me a tale of fileing silver and fileing brass, mixing the two to make your own silver for soldering. :m2c: The higher the ratio of brass to the mix makes it...
