I recently had an oil tank evaporator and homemade 2x5 pan given to me. I've ordered some stainless to add in dividers to update the flat pan to continuous flow. The pan is 16G stainless and has seen some use (Warped). I'm planning to get a new pan within the next few years so I'm trying to do this as cost effective as possible. Can I just solder these in with silver solder / flux/ torch or do they have to be spot welded in with a tig welder and then sealed with solder?
I have someone who is willing to work with me to get it cleaned, adjusted and spot weld the dividers in, however it'd cost me a few hundred dollars.
I have searched the forums, however I have not found the answers i'm looking for, what I do know is...Thanks, Craig
- An iron is better than a torch (If I can find one)
- Use silver solder
- Clean VERY well
- Use stainless specific liquid flux
