jonno 357 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 what is the best way to fix brass to brass? That would be brazing You don't want to use Brass. Cold drawn carbon steel is sufficient and is very cheap. I buy 4mm stuff at 50p per kilo. I can 100 x I metre lengths for about £4.50 Jonno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
