Hi has anybody used Oxy/propane for brazing? the set up seems cheap enough but ive heard it can be difficult to braze with. ta

Hi Guys------two things come into play here]--- 1) The max. heat obtained by the flame---------and 2) The shape of the flame...........This might be of help ??}-------

Hi Martyn, I used to work a couple of days a week at the Forge in Pumpsaint and although I didn't weld there myself, all sorts of welding was done there and brazing was done using oxy/acetylene. I asked why the propane wasn't used for brazing and was told it was very difficult and virtually impossible to braze with it, although I saw an attempt at using it there once and it was time consuming and messy. Regards, Paul.

thaks for info
