Re: welding or brazing Qs

I guarantee... even with a 110v fluxcore, it wont break off. I've done this on many set-up including 2 of my boosted hondas.... Had it for years... at least 3 years. As long as the person doing the welding knows what he/she is doing....

anyone have an opinion?

brazing melts from 800 degree. I dont think i'll last but i perfer tig cause its a neater weld and it last
