Towel Rack and Muggy Weld

[Janderso]

Has anyone worked with this low temp solder?
It’s pretty forgiving and easy to use.
My wife asked if I could make her a towel rack for two. Then I found out she needed a total of 3.
She asked me to leave it rustic. No problem.

Is this brass? Looks nice. I like to use the Tix low temperature solder. Zamak can be iffy, though.

It's nice when they like it rustic.

I've heard of that muggy stuff - supposedly great for fixing cast iron but I've never used it

They have made it easy with their line of products.

Yes,
Brass from McMaster. I bought several different pieces of bar stock in 3/4” and down.
My best score at a garage sale, brass sheet, .094” thick and approximately 36X24” for $30.
I priced it on McMaster, over $500.
Brass is crazy expensive. Mostly copper!

I haven't used the low temp solder, but I recently used the SSF-6 product to braze the pins into
a pin spanner I made. I worked well once I practiced on some scrap. Only downside is that
it was a bit expensive.
