I am trying to solder a bronze guard on a knife, I am wondering if the aluminum in the bronze it stopping it and the knife 1084 are as clean as can be and the solder will not flow. Gib

I think your right on the Aluminum, I tried using some a while back with no luck, switched to brass. Let us know if you figure it out. God Bless Mike __________________ "I cherish the Hammer of Thor, but I praise the hand of God" |

You may want to experiment with differant fluxes. I was having trouble with a guard. My neighbor gave me some flux that I could use to solder a bowling ball to a cucumber.
