I'm curios about you blokes talking about "silver solder"
And I'm willing to bet that it is in fact Plumbers Silver/Solder which in my book is absolute SH!T stuff.
A far cry from the high quality high percentage silver solder.
The good quality stuff can be applied overhead/horizontal/downhand at the right temp on one point only of a copper sleeve or union,, and it will be
sucked up into the joint by capillary action and also do the full 360 degrees around all in the one momentary application.
Not so with the Plumbers solder. That stuff is like trying to do the near impossible with a chunk of molten toffee. Its cheap and nasty stuff.
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.
