Im thinking of getting
bakers soldering fluid from Bunnings tomorrow as im nearly out of my bernzomatic flux paste.
would i be able to get the bakers flux to work with ss to copper with patience or technique?
Someone mentioned comweld 965 or ezi-weld801 is what i need for stainless steel to copper solders. Will this one do at masters...
Cigweld 965 Soldering Flux 125ml.
Cigweld 965 description wrote:
For use with all Comweld soft solders, enabling excellent joints to be made on almost all metals and combinations of metals
Very active flux and therefore, if used on copper, brass, bronze may be diluted if required in the ratio 1 part flux to 4 parts water
Highest quality flux
I only have 2 ss to copper solders to do so i wont need too much which is why i would prefer to make do with the bakers flux since most of what i have to do in the future is just copper.
If Cigweld 965 is what i need for ss to copper, can it also be used as copper to copper like the description above? maybe i just need to buy this and dilute down to 4 parts water 1 part flux for copper to copper?
Can anyone help me decide what to buy, cigweld 965 or bakers. I have to try save money but not cut corners... i would really appreciate an experts opinion :D
My ring for my flange is going on the end of the ss, i wasnt going to bell it out but maybe i can make an external ferule or something if i have to (cant have anything making the column narrower as i need to slide things in and out).
Will this work not belled and with bakers or cigweld?

My other solder is just to patch up the holes already in the T500 column put there by the manufacturers :violence-smack:
Ive put all work on my build on hold until i solve this dilemma :angry-banghead: sort of feel like im ranting on and on but i want to be clear in my problem :smile:
cheers
