The boric acid? Just mix until its a paste, works as well as a 15 quid pot of cycle design. For silver the cycle design stuff is head and shoulders above the rest, but for brass imo it's wasted money.

Will I need silver or am I likely to get away with brass for bosses and stops to begin with?

I bought boric acid on your suggestion, I’ve tried it once with my oxy-propane torch and I found it a bit gritty and as I’d chucked a tub of Sif flux in with my torch when I ordered it I’ve just been using that.
I want to give the boric acid another shot though. Just live with it not being as smooth a paste as Sif-flux or was I doing something wrong?

This makes me nervous. Do you use something fancier?
Mix until an even paste or specific ratio?
Much appreciated on the Manual borrowing. Any other old bits and bobs, tools, fixtures, scraps etc that you won't use, I may be happy to buy off you if you come across anything in the future.
