On a good note every steerer tube to crown that I silver brazed flowed through!
Since I am back at the bike shop for the next few days there will be no torch time until next week.
If you're using the usual 0.058" wall stuff for slip joints that's a good clearance for brass. Looks like you need more heat (or better technique?)
