Silver solder for SS wire?

[Douglas]

I tried to silver solder small holes in a 304 SS sink once, without successful results. It seemed that the heating temperature of the ss was quite critical, and if only slightly overheated, the silver solder just rolled into balls and didn't flow or stick to the SS.

I was using a propane pencil flame torch, with lots of flux too,,,, disappointing that was !
