I saw articles in HSM or MW on reparing band saw cutoff saw blade. (Usually they are resistance welded, but my supplyer went out of business.) The article said in the old days, blades were always silver soldered. The article mentioned using a silver solder of about 60,000 psi tensle strength. Of course I can not find the article now. A search in the online index did not help, because I don't remember the article title.

After spending a day shopping in the nearest big town to the north, I found 30,000 psi solder (Alpha brand). This lasted about 30 seconds before breaking at the joint. Where can I get stronger silver solder? Need source and phone, the brand and product name.

Thanks if you can help.
