Low temp soldering tinware ?

[sardine]

Anyone know about soldering galvanised sheet ?

I've only ever used hard solder on big steel jobs, ( gun barrels ) I know how to solder , never over galvanised.

Ideally I want to do it with non specialist solder and flux as its not worth spending money on. i have some copper bar i could make a soldering iron from.

probably best doing it with a smallish blowtorch .well clean up and flux

you do mean tinning dont you where you solder 2 pieces of thin metal together

ive been taught this way

The state of the Homebase tag on it suggests it's relatively new and, presumably under warranty?

i regularly used to re solder the spouts back on kettles .copper and stainless steel at electrical shop i worked at . used an acid flux and blowtorch i have a few big copper soldering irons but wouldnt get a good heat up round spouts
