Harris Safety-Silv 56% 1/16 Silver Solder Brazing Alloy 1 Troy Ounce, 75310 5631

This is good product at a good price, I did my homework. Hard solder (braze) that doesnt require $$fuel/tanks. With research, can be used on most metals. Harris puts out a line of industry product, but their web site product info seems to acknowledge the novices out there (me). A silver solder project, especially the higher percentage line, results in a clean artisan look. Done right, it can be as strong as bronze brazing. And aesthetically appealing. Dont know if that was the intention of Harris, but heck, opens up possibilities for me!. This maker(silver solder) was new for me. Browsing Amz opened up a whole world of product hustle. Not to mention, the help to shorten the learning curve. Im smiling!!

This is a high-silver solder which gives you a very strong joint. I use it in sculptures and am even able to bend and re-position parts after they are soldered. This and MuggyWeld are the only silver solders I use.

Came unboxed, I hope it was 56% silver, but it worked great on Stainless steel to stainless steel brazing.

This is the problem solve braze filler for joining many metals. It flows like water, almost being eutectic. And wets easily thanks to the 56% Ag. Yes, pricey but this isnt for making fillets, it is for flowing into tiny joints and acting as a solder. Been using this type and brand for 25+ years. Just cannot justify the gamble with off brands. I dont go through much, this troy ounce will last at least 10 years unless Lady Luck throws more high dollar miracle jobs in my reach. It is easy to use..joints need 5 to 10 thousandths of clearance. Use Harris flux, white for most and black for stainless. Either GTAW or oxyacetylene with just a frogs hair of reducing flame. Throw the heat on the larger of the side of the joint, then touch the filler to the smaller part. When its hot enough, it will flow like magic. The joint is a hint golden which to me is pure beauty. Very tarnish resistant except to halogen salts or sulfur compounds. Proper joints will just show a line.

I used this solder to repair a stainless steel double boiler. The four spot welds that attached the handle broke. This solder is very strong. This is the first time I have used this type of solder. Although I have some experience soldering electrical and plumbing projects, this is considerably more difficult. I suggest that a first time user practice on a repair where the final appearance is not critical. There are good tutorial videos on youtube.

Absolutely heavenly in repair food production machines copper pipes and fittings for hot water.

Harris is a known brand: dependable quality--no surprises--it is what it says it is. With a little practice almost anyone can learn to silver solder. The secret is metal preparation, the use of the right flux, and rapid rise in temperature to red glowing hot. Propane is hot enough--the technique is to get the proper amount of heat to the metal to be soldered and not to use oxy-acetylene which will likely burn up the flux before soldering temperature is reached. Use white flux for small jobs and black flux for larger jobs which will take longer to heat up.

Works really well. I have soldered Mild Steel and Stainless with this. I use MAPP Gas, you do not need Oxy to get it to melt and run

This is the good stuff if you’re looking for high-quality silver cider.
