Needed to join two pieces of mild steel today, with minimal bead and as strong or nearly so as the parent metal.
So I got each one hot, got a thin coating of brazing rod melted onto each one, then slapped them together and heated the back of the accessible piece.
Poof! Instant bond. What a joy brazing is.
Is this an accepted procedure? Are there any pitfalls that I should know of? How likely is it that I've got a joint that's mostly flux?
(It's totally not anything-critical, except that it's part of a stand for painting a model airplane -- so the worst that will happen if it fails is that the air will turn blue.)
