Question
I have several pieces of plated holloware that have either broken feet or handles. Also have a large chafing dish with a broken handle at the metal end of the handle where it used to be attached to the dish. Can I use a soft soldering technique to have enough strength for normal use?
Answer
HI PAUL,
DEPENDING ON THE CONDITION OF THE BREAK AND THE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE PIECE A SOFT SOLDER MAY WORK FOR A WHILE. THE BEST THING TO DO IS REPAIR IT WITH A CASTING OF THE BROKEN PIECE. IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT THEN TRY THE SOFT SOLDER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. GOOD LUCK.
PETER
