I tried a quick test on a piece of steel tube the other day using flux and silver solder. Didn't work well. I don't couldn't get the piece of tube hot enough for the solder to flow. Anyone? thanks 1972 Cuda 340 4 speed, 2001 Ram CTD 4x4 6 speed, 1970 Duster 408 4 speed, 1996 Ram 5.9 2x4 auto, 1965 Coronet 500

While it is still hot, I used a piece of steel wool to smooth out any drips, etc. Once cooled down, I went over it with steel wool once again. After a few weeks the surface will darken a bit and look 99% correct.
