Switched to my Victor way easier to control flame/heat, something is not right with the Purox.


the first 4 pics are as brazed without rinsing or soaking, if anyone has imput about temps, etc. I'm all ears. Some of the blackened areas may be paint, I didn't go nuts getting all of it off on the tubes.






second sess after soak and wire wheel shown in the pic below. I tried to build up a large fillet but still had mtl. where I didn't want it, but overall better than my first attemps in sess one.This was when I realized the cleaner the fillet the easier the finishing(doh1) All the fillets are tt brazed to dt and here I snugged up the piece of dt in a Park stand with a 1/2" pipe clamp, mounted the pipe in the stand and then could turn/rotate for the fillets, much easier than using the vise.
