I used stick sil-fos for about 30 years in the HVAC trade. It is a high temperature brazing rod for copper to copper joints with no flux required. It would work on other metals with a flux but rolls of silver solder were easier. The silfos does flow to heat but we had the advantage of covering a lot of our work with insulation. That is beautiful metal work.

Speaking of asses - I thought this was funny:

WOMEN'S ASS-SIZE STUDY

There is a new study out about women and how they feel about their asses!

I thought the results were pretty interesting:

85% of women think their ass is too fat...

10% of women think their ass is too skinny...

The other 5% say that they don't care, they love him, he's a good man, and they would have married him anyway.

Thanks Scott. Curious what the jewelers think about it. It is just colder than acetylene.
Good for transport since it has a lot of BTU's per unit volume.
Never knew of a silversmith using it.

But this statement in Wiki:
Jewellers, glassbead makers, and many others find it very useful.
