Mackie 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2003 (edited) It's futile to seek 20% silver solder and if available, it's not gonna be easy to work it onto the joints. Edited July 8, 2003 by Mackie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adhoc 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2003 thanks mackie for the piece of advice. i had actually seen a thread somewhere on head-fi concerning 20% silver solder, and was just curious as to whether i would be able to find it in singapore. however you do state a true fact- after some research into the sort of solders that silversmiths and goldsmiths use, IIRC the approx melting point of high content silver solder (>30%) is about 500C. not exactly what i'd call a eutectic solder.
