Gluing Brass parts together

Roger Pellett said:
Joining metal parts together using brass wire is called brazing. It is done with a torch and usually with an oxygen/gascombination.The high heat required would damage model sized parts as Rob444 posts above.

Soft solder is strong enough for metalwork on static models. Amazon sells a lead free silver based 1/32” diameter solder that I particularly like. I use a low viscosity liquid flux. It flows like water into tiny crevices.

Dou you have a name for the flux and solder. The quality on Amazon varies widely and I hate getting burned.
