HOW TO MAKE 32 KINDS OF SOLDER.—­1.  Plumbers’ solder.—­Lead 2 parts, tin I part. 2.  Tinmen’s solder.—­Lead 1 part, tin 1 part. 3.  Zinc solder.—­Tin 1 part, [Transcriber’s Note:  The original text reads ‘lead 1 to parts’] lead 1 to 2 parts. 4.  Pewter solder.  Lead 1 part, bismuth 1 to 2 parts. 5. [Transcriber’s Note:  The original text reads ‘Spelter soldier’] Spelter’s solder.—­Equal parts copper and zinc. 6.  Pewterers’ soft solder.—­Bismuth 2, lead 4, tin 3 parts. 7.  Another.—­Bismuth 1, lead I, tin 2 parts. 8.  Another pewter solder.—­Tin 2 parts, lead 1 part. 9.  Glaziers’ solder.—­Tin 3 parts, lead 1 part. 10.  Solder for copper.—­Copper 10 parts, zinc 9 parts. 11.  Yellow solder for brass or copper.—–­ Copper 32 lbs., zinc 29 lbs., tin 1 lb. 12.  Brass solder.—­Copper 61.25 parts, zinc 38.75 parts. 13.  Brass solder, yellow and easily fusible.—­Copper 45, zinc 55 parts. 14.  Brass solder, white.—­Copper 57.41 parts, tin 14.60 parts, zinc 27.99 parts. 15.  Another solder for copper.—­Tin 2 parts, lead 1 part.  When the copper is thick heat it by a naked fire, if thin use a tinned copper tool.  Use muriate or chloride of zinc as a flux.  The same solder will do for iron, cast iron, or steel; if the pieces are thick, heat by a naked fire or immerse in the solder. 16.  Black solder.—­Copper 2, zinc 3, tin 2 parts. 17.  Another.—­Sheet brass 20 lbs., tin 6 lbs., zinc 1 lb. 18.  Cold brazing without fire or lamp.  —­Fluoric acid 1 oz., oxy muriatic acid 1 oz., mix in a lead bottle.  Put a chalk mark each side where you want to braze.  This mixture will keep about G months in one bottle. 19.  Cold soldering without fire or lamp.—­Bismuth 1/4 oz., quicksilver 1/4 oz., block tin filings 1 oz., spirits salts 1 oz., all mixed together. 20.  To solder iron to steel or either to brass.—­Tin 3 parts, copper 39-1/2 parts, zinc 7-1/2 parts.  When applied in a molten state it will firmly unite metals first named to each other. 21.  Plumbers’ solder.—­Bismuth 1, lead 5, tin 3 parts, is a first-class composition. 22.  White solder for raised Britannia ware.—­Tin 100 lbs., hardening 8 lbs., antimony 8 lbs. 23.  Hardening for Britannia.—­(To be mixed separately from the other ingredients.) Copper 2 lbs., tin 1 lb. 21.  Best soft solder for cast Britannia ware.—­Tin 8 lbs., lead 5 lbs. 25.  Bismuth solder.—­Tin 1, lead 3, bismuth 3 parts. 26.  Solder for brass that will stand hammering.—­Brass 78.26 parts, zinc 17.41 parts, silver 4.33 parts, add a little chloride of potassium to your borax for a flux. 27.  Solder for steel joints.—­Silver 19 parts, copper 1 part, brass 2 parts, Melt all together. 28.  Hard solder.—­Copper 2 parts, zinc 1 part.  Melt together. 29.  Solder for brass.—–­ Copper 3 parts, zinc 1 part, with borax. 30.  Solder for copper.—–­ Brass 6 parts, zinc 1 part, tin 1 part, melt all together well and pour out to cool. 31.  Solder for platina—­Gold with borax. 32.  Solder for iron.—­The best solder for iron is good tough brass with a little borax.
