Messing with silicone bronze to attach my little windows, never used it before, so we will see. "AND", if you are going to bust my balls for grammar, you may want subscribe over at Corner Carvers instead of hear. That's how they roll over there, more of a book club!!

I'm curious how the silicon bronze works out for you, I'm told it is perfect for stuff like that. I bought some but I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

Are you using your TIG machine for the silicone bronze or MIG brazing it?

[57hemicuda]

I thought I was going to tig it, because I had never heard of silicone bronze mig wire. I You Tubed silicone bronze because I have never used it before, apparently in Europe migging bronze is a very common method for installing body panels. Everything I saw on You Tube was from Britain, and none of my weld suppliers had ever heard of bronze mig wire. I did get some off of Amazon, and will try it. I will be surprised if it works the way I want, but here's hoping.

It makes welding tin to tube pretty easy. you will need to run a long 3/4 stitch about 1.5 to 2" apart. i am not sure how the Mig will work but we use it a bit with the tig.

Autobody shops are all buying dedicated silicon bronze mig welders for fixing the newer cars, but I have yet to see one in action.

I heard all you have to do is run straight Arogon, but I will let you know when I try it. Wire showed up today

Where did you source the wire? What guage? Is there anything special you need to do with the feed on the machine with the softer wire?

I got a roll of 023. and a roll of .030, I know when you try to run aluminum wire though a mig machine it sucks, unless you have a push pull machine or a spool gun. I'm hoping the bronze pushes OK, I'll let you know as soon as I try it. Have a couple more days of tinning to do before I make sparks. Wire came from Amazon

I’ve used silicon bronze wire in my MIG. Works fine.
