What rod do I need to braze a drawer pull?
fiddlefixer replied to fiddlefixer's topic in Copper Alloys
Thanks everyone. I do still have some "Alladin?" rods for aluminum, am I remembering correct that I would use a slightly carbonizing flame, and back it up with some copper? I probably will use the epoxy, w/ touch-up for this one. I would hate to melt away any of it. Thanks again, Mark -
I'm not sure what exactly it is made of. I think it looks like it is cast, but even if I can braze or solder it, I don't know if I can match the patina...(kinda dark brushed finish). I thought, I could also use some sort of high strength epoxy, with an engineered rod to help. That way, heat would not risk damaging it. Any suggestions would be helpful! I need to see about putting a picture up, that would probably help me with responses! :D

I do a lot of brazing on copper pipes! MAPP is great 2400 degrees! This is horrible news. By the time propane gets it hot enough the flux is usually almost gone! I'll have to go back to a small ac. tank

1/2 inch copper pipe (Ideas Needed)
fiddlefixer replied to sdalcher's topic in Metal Sculpture & Carvings
Hey, copper has a clang type sound, you might like it you might not. It does look great outside after a wile(if you don't seal it) and it's easy to work with! I had to scrap most of my old copper from plumbing when times were tough! One little tip,clean the flux off anything you don't want the soder to stick this makes things a little cleaner! Have fun!
