    Elaine. Have you used this solder? Is there anyone out there who has.
    Is it really a color match to the copper? 

    I have had several supposed copper colored solders over the bench
    over the years. None were close. Most were silver colored in the
    end. I have used pink/rose gold solder when I need a small piece of
    copper joined to another compatible metal. 

    Phos-Copper finishes up silver colored but it will take the patinas. 

Bill
