Looks pretty good. I am a big fan of lead free flux core electrical solder plus lots of flux paste for putting together brass guns. It flows so nicely and melts faster.

hmmm. what diameter is it? the flux core at the hardware store is real small. i was wondering if smaller would be better. i had way to much on there. i used a wet rag to wipe some off once i melted it. then used the flux brush to get more off. ive got some muggies super alloy 1 coming to try.

It is the thin lead free stuff. I will look at the particulars when I get home from work.

 In all honesty, I'd rather use leaded solder and just make the joints come out right the first time, then fight with the lead free stuff.

Ok... Here is the condensed version of the chemical/mechanical version of solder... Basically, soft solder uses tin to dissolve some of the copper in the brass, forming a new alloy. This is the chemical portion of the bond. The solder also mechanically attaches the pieces of brass together. The big difference between lead/tin solder and copper/tin (lead free) solder is the other metals used to reduce the melting point of the mixture. Lead (37%)/Tin (63%) is a fairly common alloy. it melts at 370*F The lead free varieties contain various mixtures of bismuth, copper, silver, tin and other entertaining ingredients. The various alloys melt anywhere from 200*F to well over 500*F. Some more information can be found here Ty
