Yes but why if it is really not necessary. The problem is two different filler metals, poor cleaning ability, lack of full filling of joint depth and potential leaks in the future. Just my opinion, I don't re-braze or re-solder joints if there is a choice
Have you ever taken apart a brazed joint and reconnected it with Stay Brite? Just curious.
Harris says in their literture on stay brite that it can be used to fill pin holes in braze which means it will wet on braze but I really think it would be way easier and more dependable to rebraze an already brazed joint.

I know it will bond to silfloss the issue is cleaning it enough so it will bond!
The path that the freon takes,from the inside of the system all the way out here into the atmosphere is stroon w/ debris. It is called oil,at least. How do you clean it up enough,to be able to get the new solder to resoldered?

Exactly I think it would almost be impossible. A wire brush in a drill would be your best bet but even that wouldn't get into all the rough areas left by braze

Thats the beauty of brazing, by the time its hot enough its clean enough. There is no oil on a 900 degree pipe.

I thought it was closer to 600* but what do I know
I was thinking around 600 as well for paste...the liquid flux is active up to 700. I use it to solder stainless and regular steel because you have to get steel hotter.

Stay silv...... 45% silver. I use that anywhere critical.
Especially old failed solder or brazes or somewhere that's been broken like a condenser.
It's also fantastic for repairing condensers without having to remove fins.
Yes very big difference. I'll occasionally use stay brite on 134 cap tube systems inside a kitchen. Especially since everything there is covered in grease.
But any system capable of more pressure I won't waste my time or the customers money.
Been seeing it alot on new r290 systems. The solder joint's keep cracking. And it's a total pain to braze properly after the factory soldered the joints lol
I know enough to know, I don't know enough
Why is it that those who complain the most contribute the least? MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS. POVERTY CAN'T BUY ANYTHING
