I have the copper for the block (milled) and the copper top, and of course, the copper pipe (for barbs).

and now i have to solder it.

will regular electronics grade solder (with electronics grade flux core) work?

or do i need something like silver solder? (where can i get it in AUS?)

the only silver solder i can find is tin/silver soldering paste.

and what would be the easyest way to solder it all together, i have a fine tipped electronics soldering iron, a roofing iron (big Mofo soldering iron), a mini blowtorch (good for heatshrink

) and a gas stove top

thanks for the help!
