Getting well bent out of shape

[supper plumb]

What's the best way to solder brass to brass ??

 

[dancinplumba]

Same way as copper to copper

 

[supper plumb]

tryed it using frys flux and lead free solder lowish heat still didnt work

 

[dancinplumba]

Keep experimenting

You'll need a bit more heat, but don't burn the flux.

Purely out of interest, and I may regret asking, but why do you ask?

Cant you just use a pair of grips on the key instead?

If you need to exert more pressure than with a winged key then you'll be into snapping territory!
