I still haven't done the cord wrap on this blade I am going to try and cover some of that thin silver line with the cord wrap
Ok. Reason I ask is because I was a welder for years and do other metal work that involves welding and brazing processes and wanted to see if I could help. I was gonna suggest silver solder. I typically use the Harris 40% without cadmium. But it does leave a line where the fill occurrs which doesn't sound desirable. Thanks for replying! Happy holidays.
