John's Silver Soldering (brazing)  Rules:
A good fit.
Keep it clean.
Lots of clean flux.
Clean the solder too!
Fire it up and do the job quickly.
Heat the big pieces first.
Dim the lights if necessary to "see" the metal's temperature.
The solder follows the heat - use this to help control where it flows.
Finish by bringing the whole area (of silver) up to temp. to completely flow the solder.
- Even some of the pros don't follow this last step and get bad joints!)
