Sorry if this has been covered but ive been reading for hours and my eyes are starting to hurt. Im looking at making one of these easy flanges as i have just learnt how to soft solder (thanks Mac).
Anyyway, i got a little confused with 'hard solder'. Can i use propane/mapp to silver solder the 2 ends of the 4mm tube to make the ring?
If so, what type of solder is best for this application? Im close to a bunnings, masters and reece plumbing
And will ezi weld 801 be useful?
Cheers in advance!

and that is easily done with propane and the right hard silver solder rods.

Hard silver rods needs Mapp gas having tried and used many rod grades, never got Propane gas to do the job ... just not hot enough.
