Skip the flux stuff. Use Sta-Silv or something like it. Get it at the
welding or HVAC supply houses.
Use acetylene torch for copper bonding, and use Cad-Weld for bonding to
ground rods. Anything else is going to be trouble.

If I read your note correctly, I think you're referring to 2% silver solf
solder. If that's it, skip it, use the stuff that requires an acetylene
torch.

More to come on this when I get the time to do the BDR write-up.
