broken tap

Well, Google so far has NOT been my friend.With a HSS 2-56 tap broken off in a lump of bronze I did my search -found reference to "jewellers' screw remover, a white paste". Looked allover the place in jewellers' webpages and couldn't find a thing.There was recent reference here to the use of alum (septic pencil), but Ibelieve that was for use for a tap snapped off in aluminum.I could move the hole over and retap, but it would throw off the symmetryof the piece - however if the worst comes to the worst.Help!Mike in BC

"Bust Out". LOL. Another data point for my theory that dirty old men evolve from dirty young men. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany
