Jerry, that's what I use exclusively for small copper stuff. Ground  
strap, radials and so on. About the only place I've used cadweld is on  
#2 or larger when going to a 3/4 ground rod, to a steel plate or the  
like.

Sta-silv, or the Sil-fos that was mentioned a couple posts earlier is  
about the same thing. It's relatively cheap, as I recall, and easy to  
use. Clean copper (and a torch with sufficient BTUs) is your friend.
