I am trying to silver solder a few boiler fittings. and things are not going to my liking. Before I continue I would like to get some advise.
I heat the whole up with 3 burners ( acetylene / oxy ) and propane to a temperature I think is right . Two small bushings went wel but he third not. I noticed that the flux for the third one was partly gone . Burned away maybe ?
Question :
===========
1 ) Can I ad flux while the boiler is hot ?
2 ) To fill a few suspected pinholes can I just fluxed again ( after cleaning of course ) and ad solder to it ?
3 ) What action do you guy's take to avoid by heating the boiler tube bushings and avoiding the already soldered in place fall out .
I thank Mr. Google with the spelling ( English is not my mother tongue ) so please have mercy.
And to those who respond a Big thank you in advance,
Gerard
