Using butane + oxygen + silver solder is safer because the temperature is not so aggressive as
oxyacetylene mix. Using the latter, you really need to pay attention to how hot it gets. Using the former is also tricky cos you tent to blow the solder away from the joint!
silver melts at a slight red glow, anything higher begins to ruin 753.
that's why it's so tricky.
