I wrote the book, "Exotic Soldering", in 1993. It was never published, I just gave copies to friends.
After my book research, I have some exotic research grade solder alloys that I can sell if anyone wishes to experiment in bonding unusual materials.
Compositions of Lead, Silver, Tin, and Indium normal price is $10 per inch of .030 inch wire. A tube containing 3 feet of .030 inch wire normally sells for $350.00. Make an offer.
I will include instructions for soldering directly to glass, ceramic, graphite, stainless steel, etc.
(corrected wire size to thirty thousands)
