Got one of the Selarc versions, been on the shelf for about 30 years. Bit like the old joke, tried it once & didn't like it.

It is a Carbon arc brazing kit.
As already said, use on arc welders.
I have used them to braze and silver solder smaller parts.

Also good to re temper leather working tools.

Mate's son does house clearances and I get anything engineering related. Got this. 50% sure i know what it is - and I am not trying it!View attachment 93437

I've used one of those to braze a set of sills on my Humber Sceptre with a buzz box in the road outside the house in 1978.....

Its a keeper then as I have to braze the water jacket on a Lister cs engine I got given

Forgot to post this up. Just reminded me. 1940 6hp lister cs engine. Needed a rocker cover which i bought plus an injector which i am looking for. Got it for free. Gave a bottle of champayne as they sell for £300-£500

. "Gave a bottle of champayne "

If it was spelt like that on the label, it may not have been the finest vintage, more likely made in Poland out of Russian army surplus antifreeze.

It was decent stuff. Engineer not English teacher fortunetly.
