Soldering Brass with Paste Solder

[Florin888]

Where the nuts really needed? You could tapper a thread through the square section bar, but I guess it was hollow and the wall thickness was small.

@Florin888 Yes they are needed. The brass is too thin to thread.

What temperature was this soldered at? I'm looking for some tips to solder a brass roll cage for a 1/43 scale model. This looks promising.

WOW......i have never seen solder come in a tube like that and it worked out so quick and easy .......so where would soemone get that stuff looks great and what would it be called so i can look for it

[aztomas]

@scorpionrtg38 I picked that up at Lowes Home Center. It has a stronger bond than regular solder and has the flux mixed in.

Any tips on getting solder to match the color of the brass?

[aztomas]

@luckybuttdog

None that I know of. You could try brazing it.
