Default Hard Silver Solder

5 parts copper
2 parts silver
3 parts zinc

Melt the copper first, add the silver, and lastly the zinc.
Stir rapidly when you add the zinc, to spread the zinc through out.
Pour into a mold, cool, and then roll out into a sheet to about 18 ga.
Cut strips to your needs. Avoid breathing fumes at all times. Zinc fumes are deadly!

Remember to take the proper precautions when working with chemicals.
