Hi Manny
Yes your right if too hot the zinc gasses out and will cause pinholes. Adding the filler very regular helps cool down the puddle a bit. In this matter the small things make or break the end result.

Thank you, Paul. In mm these were .7 - .8 when new. They were .4 in places when I got them straight for 1st copper. I like silver soft solder and silver hard for repairs. 55% is a fave, at high temps.

Some beautiful Brasswork on this thread! Wonderful job on that grille shell Paul! Shame to have to Chrome it!
And Kent, those lanterns are awesome! Was this a restoration? Looks like you may have some metal spinning under your belt?

Thanks Mike. Yes, Paul is doing a great job on this shell. At one time I had 3 metal spinners on call, making parts for my lamp resto work. Now I am lucky to find one in 200 miles that can do sectional dies and can make parts smooth - without using a "rake!" (There is one guy on this forum that has acquired tools from one of my old metal spinners ...)

Hello guys
I picked up the shell to proceed and get some things done. I made the center rib (don't know the right word)and with silver solder I joined it in. Also I metal finished the inside edges. Next time I'll bring the edges down on another way to prevent the marks from hammering. That would save time. Maybe a nylon little block to hammer on. So far so good I'm pretty happy how it goes . Now the nose piece has to be done.

Hello everyone
Here a few pictures of the shell that is ready now. I'm very pleased with the end result. I can't wait to see it chrome plated on the car. It was a nice challenge and learned lots again. Time for something else to break my brain on Greetings Paul
