I tried to post this just as the website crumbled (I take full responsibility :) ), so in the meantime I asked elsewhere. Apologies if you've seen it before.
Back in this (http://www.cooksongold.com/forum/need-help-ask-experts/1265-soldering-grain.html) thread, the existence of soldering grain (http://www.hswalsh.com/search.aspx?s1=soldering&s2=grain&s3=&f=1&l=10) was revealed unto me. I'd never heard of it before, but it might just be the thing for one particular job.
I'm not keen on Walsh's price, so I thought I could put a kit together myself with a stainless steel Balti dish from Tesco and some grit from somewhere like UKGE (http://www.ukge.co.uk/UK/grits.asp) or Capital City (http://shop.ccabrasives.com/silicon-carbide-grain-121-c.asp). What size grit though? Anyone?
