M1152 713 Posted February 26, 2021 you could do it with Arc (Stick) if careful and you have enough base metal otherwise you’ll blow right through it. Tig is better for light gauge metals because you have better control. Look for a mom & pop welding shop (if they still exist) or maybe one of the FFL folks here that do compliance work.

rifleman 90 Posted February 27, 2021 drill a small hole and use a screw + nut Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmittyMHS 603 Posted February 27, 2021 Any refer/AC shop could silver solder it up. Maybe even a radiator shop. An old plumber that still remembers how to solder can use Stay Brite. Might not do well over an open fire though unless the holes kept under water. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn’t know I can use stay brite on stainless, I’ve only used it on copper. I do know that I can buy brazing rods specifically for stainless, but I’ve never needed it. Maybe guys that work on ammonia systems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmittyMHS 603 Posted February 28, 2021 https://www.amazon.com/Harris-SCLF16-Stay-Clean-Soldering/dp/B001HW8E1M Is the flux to use. Make sure you clean the spot well before AND after. Heat control is key. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
