It is heavily worn now but never broken. I use Harris Safety Silv 45 and get it at a refrigeration supply house. Doug
Agreed Doug, however Safety-Silv 45 is a brazing alloy which I believe requires an acetylene torch to produce sufficient heat; something which we do not have access to at this time.
