[rebel-builders] primer lines

That hardware store solder with a few percent silver is still low
temperature solder that typically melts at well under 500*F.
Fahrenheit not Celsius. Totally unsuitable. I have not done any primer
lines and I usually bronze braze things that need high temperature so I
don't have any silver solder. I have seen it in welding suppliers,
refrigeration suppliers, and it appears on E-bay. Usually you need a
compatible flux to makes solders work as well.

hi all
has anyone out there done the soldering of primer lines, i understand i
should use silver solder on the ends of the primer lines because of its
higher melting point, which makes sense, the only solder i have found so far
at stores near me is lead free solder with some silver content, with melting
point of approx 500 deg c, would this be okay to use, or does anyone in
canada know a local supplier of better silver solder
thank
