    Copper can also be welded with an acetylene torch I saw the sculptor
    Harold Belazs (or Belasz) demonstate this like it was no big deal,
    but I'm sure it is not all that easy. Harold enamels over it. My
    notes from the demo are not the best or complete but he tacked
    together with phos copper rod but then I noted that its no good under
    enamel. Next I wrote to use electrical wire or deox copper rod for
    tig. You can get specialty rod and maybe some better advice at a
    Welding supply.
