    Silver solder

    Anyone know of a good online source to get silver solder in the bigger rolls?

    How big a roll do you want? A little goes a long way.

    Not sure of the weight but the rolls are about 5 in in diameter.and about 2 inches thick. I found what i was looking for on the harris site but there are no prices listed,

    Does $10 per pound sound about right? Of course it depends on the silver content. Or is that $10 per oz?

    forget the rolls buy it in rod form with the flux already on it...way better. its $$$$$ but high silver content is what u want anyway.

    solder that comes in rolls. used primarily to repair aluminum radiators in the newer cars.
    rods would be fine but wont fit on the rig i have set up to put rolls on and pull out and use what i need and just let it hang.The desination is AWS A5.8 B Ag 5 (i think the last number is 5)theres a # 45 on the roll also.

    to solder aluminum you should use "alsolder 500" w/ stay clean aluminum flux and to braze it you should use "al-braze 1070" w/ albraze aluminum powder flux if your going with jw harris. They are the best for alum to alum joints.
