Mouthpiece Work / Building up tip on a brass mouthpiece

SUBJECT: Building up tip on a brass mouthpiece
Couple of photos on Facebook of a couple of guys in Boston using silver solder to add material to the tip of a Florida Link. They used a small sheet of brass as a liner inside the tip I think. Not enough photos to tell what it looked liked before they started. https://www.facebook.com/jack.finucane1 https://www.facebook.com/jack.finucane1

Brazing works great for brass provided you don't overheat and get pin holes from bubbling zinc and you don't mind a visible seam. For low temp baffles, nothing works quite as nice as a ruined Dukoff or the 96/4 tin/silver solder. You need an acid flux for best results. 96/4 comes with it in a small bottle. For low amperage TIG filling/repairs, silicon bronze or aluminum bronze is commonly used. For the purist, who wants a raw brass finish with no seam or sign of repair, brass filler (same type) is used.
