Tweake
Do you mean use silicone bronze filler wire to braze or do you mean some other technique I should use because of the large thickness mismatch?
Thanks

My thought was that silicon bronze with its lower melting point would be easier to braze the thick to thin decreasing the chance of melting the edge of the 20 gauge. Just not sure if mig would be easier than tig. I am less experie...
