    Default NiAg pinning stock

    Does anybody know of an Aussie supplier for Nickel Silver pinning rods?
    Would welding brazing rods do the same job?

    I don't think you'll get NiAg brazing rods, mate.
    I've got plenty of it if you want any.

    No mate, I ended up ordering from the US after a long search here.
    Biggest cost was postage

    Don't bother with the NiAg welding wire - had a few lengths of it once - way to brittle for pinning razors (cracks and splits when finely domed). As a side note the guy I got it off used it for welding motorcycle gas tanks - not sure if that's a common use for it or not...

    Hey Matt, did you try annealing it ?

    Good Question! I've wondered about using the NiAg myself!! I'd never thought about it being brittle! Annealing would solve a lot of problems!!

    Has this been tried and tested? Just wondering!
