    I have found that using the brandname HandyFlux stainless steels may
    be torch soldered with regular silver and gold solders. You do have
    to be sure the metals are clean first, even with this "self cleaning"
    flux. Flow will be limited somewhat due to heat variables and flux
    action. The technique takes a couple of tries to see how it works. Be
    sure with this flux to have very good ventilation. You do not want to
    breath the fumes of the flourides containing flux.
