Brazing

I have bought the torch shown in this video and should get the propane next week.
I intend to practice with some scrap that I have acquired.

problem is choosing uk flux and rods
The ones he uses are Australian and I can’t get them affordably
Recommendations?

You’ll get all you need from the Welders Warehouse....I use ordinary brass spelter rods and pink Sifbronze flux.
This comes as a powder and mixed with water - when it dries it can be rewetted time after time.
Either way, you need to get your metal bright red hot for brazing to be a success, and I can’t comment on the torch performance.
Get some firebricks and make a little furnace if you can - this refracts heat big time.

Thanks
Good to get brand names from someone who knows.

I have done a tiny bit with just a glorified blow torch and Halfords/ car spares fluxed rods but want to do better

Brazing is essentially very high temperature soldering, hence my rant about getting the metal seriously hot!
I have used pre fluxed rods but now I bash the flux off and use Sifbronze.
Go for thin spelter rods, pure brass ones having the lower melting point.
For small stuff I go for my Mapp gas, which is hotter than propane.....this is fine for brazing 6mm nuts onto a bolt or whatever but struggles with anything bigger. If you can surround the work with fire bricks the heating is much more successful.
Ideally oxy acetylene gear is the way to go as the heat is ferocious.
Brazing flux actually vitrifies over the joint ( turns glass like) but it keeps the air away.
You can of course consider silver soldering, which works at a lower temperature but of course the joint isn’t anywhere near as strong.
I have to say, these days I just reach for the MIG!
Good luck with your trials!

If your your going to braze anything of any size you may struggle with propane. Oxy acetylene much easier way more control.
You can also Tig braze using silicon bronze rods also very easy to join different metals have done copper onto stainless.
