My 86 Chevette core has no leaks and it's over 18 YEARS old... try that with some epoxy (save for JB WELD!) DOn't be me wrong, I cannot live w/o my epoxy collection! But for the STRONGEST bond and shortest down time, a quick 10min soldering job is perfect 
My $3 bottle of propane has lasted me over a year with frequent soldering/brazing jobs.
The whole kit is about $20 for Nozzle, Propane/MAPP, Silver braze, and flux w/brush!
Plus the torch can be used for other household projects, like making a good Creme Brulee!  |
Hello all my first post here, main question was where would I be able to purchase that welding stuff.
To me sounds like your using your average cooking torch, one of those small green ones with a small propane tank.
If thats what your using could I just buy that at my local Target store?
Also do you think JB Weld is just as good as soldering?
Thanks for any and all help guys :cheers:
