![]() 517 forum posts 57 photos | Melting range is 875 - 895 ° C so better suited to oxy acetylene rather than propane. It has it's own fluxes. I've used it for car body work etc. with a Portapak. It is basically brass (contains a large percentage of zinc - about 40%) so not considered suitable for boiler work unfortunately. John |
