[BC] Irons for silver soldering copper strap

[Mike McCarthy]

Depending on the size strap and application, I try to silver solder 
everything.  In the event of a lightning strike, the current flow will 
instantly flow the non-silver solder and the joint will break. That 
said...oxy/acetylene with a brazing tip.

Small strap, I use either a large butane fired iron or my propane plumbing 
torch with the soldering tip. But those are for low current type 
applications which I might even secure with a bolt/nut.
