Rack Brazing
Well I think my fillet brazing is getting abit better. Made the platform for my wife's mixte rear rack. Just have to do a bit of filing. So as I am working with 3/8" tubing I kept decreasing my flame size and it seems like my fillets are better.
So as I was working I was wondering is it harder to fillet braze larger tubes vs. smaller ones?

I think it's harder to do a nice fillet on a rack tube. Probably because you can get all of it hot at the same time and inadvertently move the fillet on the back.
YMMV
