meco3hp Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 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. * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 IIRC old british silver coins can be used for "medium" silver solder. Had a friend who was a member of the worshipful order of goldsmiths in England... Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
