 7468 forum posts 230 photos | I'v made a few filters from brass gauze, the first feww were for a Lanz Bulldog tractor. the initial problem I had was the solder flashing and blocking half the holes, I cured that by drawing a line about a mm from the joint with a pencil. soldering iron, dads old 65W Solon(? spelling), bought about 1936, more than adequate for a filter 1" diameter x 3" long.

| 31 forum posts 17 photos | If it is brass, it should solder OK with a hot enough iron and some flux. The solder will really wick into it, so maybe you do have stainless or something with a protective lacquer on it. Another approach is solder paste and an oven or hot-air gun. |

| 259 forum posts 77 photos | Tried spot welder on mesh to stainless steel strip and lo and behold it welds. (see photo in album under "materials" Contacted supplier and he is sending fresh sheet out to me. If what he sends out turns out to be the same, then I will be contacting members for their kind offers. Mike.
