has anyone out there had any experience and good results with brazing of
everdur. doesn't seem to braze like brass, getting the material hot enough
for a nice flow the everdur piece falls off, but any cooler and the braz is
ugly and lumpy. any suggestions on brazing rod selections or techniques.

                thanks,

>Hi, ...

     Everdure is real nice silicon bronze. To braze it you need a brazing 
rod of the same material, a neutral to lean flame, and a blanket of plain 
old borax glass to work under.
     Work the rod in from the side, and make a puddle. It really helps if 
you're in puddle position. If you need to work a vertical braze, use more of 
an oxidizing flame, *do not* preheat the whole, but work in a continuous 
small puddle in an inward traveling spiral around the edge of the braze.

    isn't that easy to understand? luck,  Bradley Sanders
