Well, I'm now a self-taught Master Of Welding (in progress...)
But I'll need to know how to braze in order to install the captured nuts
into the back of my B-Post.
I thought about welding them, and then I thought that brazing wouldn't
invite the metal to warp so much.
I have a Victor oxy-acetylene kit, with 4 tips: #000, #0, #2, & #4. The
000 is what gets used on sheet metal. I also have some Lincoln brass
electrodes (I think- my brother bought them & tried to braze w/ a propane
torch... not work)
Will I be able to braze with this setup? Which tip should I use? (I'm
thinking the 0, but it's a bit gummy... the 000 is nicer (newer)) How hot
does the metal(s) have to get? Should I forget the flux-coated gunk and
buy some filler rod from the welding supply house? Or is it the same
stuff?
thanks,
-Malcolm
