Scrap Metal Sculpture? (Braze/Solder)?

So I am making little scrap metal sculptures and I have a BernzOmactic micro-torch, now all i need is o know if silver solder is going to be strong enough to keep the bonds together and not break if a sculpture was to fall or be knocked over by accident. The other choice is silver braze which I know is stronger but its difficult to use and harder/more expensive to find where I live. So it would be awesome if the silver solder would work but overall I just need it to be strong.

Thanks for the help, Cam.

It's hard to tell without knowing how the joints are made, and how big the parts are (and how hard they will hit if knocked over.)

Brazing will be wonderfully strong, but the solder won't be as strong.

My advice - take a few scrap scraps and silver solder them together. Then bang on them, drop them, hit them. See if they survive what you think you'll need. And then go from there.

My guess is that if you are using the BernzOMatic micro-torch, we are talking smaller things, so it might be OK. But it will be close.

By the way - you can buy braze over the internet from Bernz O Matic. It might be another solutuon.
