Thanks Ray!
It helps to know I'm not the only one that can't get silver solder to stick to my blades!
And you're right about clean-up of the flux . . . . .
I have some JB Weld, and have used it several times, but lately I've been using a product called T88 from a company called Systemthree. It is an industrial two part epoxy that dries clear and hard as a rock over night, it cleans up with lacquer thinner.
I like the longer set time.
I got it from either Jantz or K&G, not sure which. It isn't cheap, but goes a long way, and sticks to everything. I've used it to glue blackwood, deer antler, stabilized wood, brass, sterling silver, plastic and a few other materials to knife blades.
What I don't know is how well either product holds up to rough use, which is what I expect this customer will do.
