Another newbie in brazing,
Little question after testing brazing with bronze.
I have try 2 types of bronze rod, the first one is a 3/32 flux coated (Lincoln Electric) bought at Canadian Tire. I have no problem to braze with that. Flow really well and get stuck to the metal like it supose to! hehe! I am also able to control the flow pretty well on that one.. But on the second rod type....
Second rod is a 1/16 not covered with flux, so i use a paste flux ( Bohemian / Cycle Design LFB ). I've heat that flux until it turn grey and start to be like a plastic finish, apply my bronze rod but... It make a drop, but the drop wont go on the metal part and get stuck on the rod. Finally able to drop the drop on the metal piece, it slip around the tube and fall beside somewhere on the table.. So it dont wanna sitck on the metal!
What i am doing wrong with that second set up?
