Is suggested the Icyball because if YOU can silver solder you can make a system which is very cheap to run. As I am a professional welder its not too hard for me. It is a possible solution!


I don't have equipment for silver soldering, just for soft soldering. IcyBall seems atractive but the presence of ammonia take me off. Long ago I checked that topic and found a lot of problems with that and accidents. So I avoid that. But thanks for sugesstions.

Slavko.

You use a small propane torch for the 'soft solder'? - - and the same for silver solder (tin solder is at about 600 F and silver solder is at about 850 F) both of which are a lot cooler than arc welding.

Re: ammonia - - think potent window cleaning stuff. I farm too and have worked around the high potency stuff. Have not found it too hard to work with and would rather work with that than R-13 (or 13a or 134 or 131 or any of the the other organochlorofloro compounds).

It's not the amonnia itself. The high pressure AND ammonia freak's me out.
