Hi Exador,
I used a lead free plumbing solder as all the heat is in the coiled tube.
If the boiler needed to withstand higher pressure or heat heat I would use silver.

I got impatient waiting for the 1/32" material so I forced it out of 1/16".
Pretty good fit so I think I'll leave it alone for now and move on to the next project.

That looks great Bill! 👍 By the way, don’t know if you have the instructions, but I recently took pictures of mine, so I will add them here in case you or anyone else want them
