I have a small foundry specializing in artmetal, repro and pattern work. No problems with silicon bronze or aluminum. But a lot of work is done in yellow brass. I join it and fill casting pits with SafetySilv 45 which is time consuming, expensive, and gives a less than perfect color match. TIG works great and MIG OK for the bronze and aluminum, but oxidizes the zinc in yellow brass giving a rough surface. I'm using an air cooled TIG with rod that I cast from the same metal. I would deeply appreciate suggestions.

Best regards, Jerry Twaddell
