The Flamefast system we have in the school workshop runs from domestic gas, same stuff that (allegedly) heats the school.
We've always struggled to braze successfully and I'm wondering what we might be able to do to make it faster. The rods we use are silicon (silicon bronze I assume, all it says on packet is 1.6mm silicon) 1.6mm diameter and I'm wondering if the heat needed to get them up to brazing temperature is more than domestic gas can offer..?
We do have various tins of flux, most of them left open so wondering if it goes off?
It's a little project using 25 x 3mm black steel flat bar that has had the scale removed with file and emery paper.
Cheers!
