What sort of silver solder rods should I buy for general repairs ? "General repairs" of what type? Ones that are critical to maintaining your life, or ones that are less consequential? "Silver solder" is a term used for relatively low melting point "solders" as well as...

Yamabond 4 holds my crankcase halves together. Oh, and a few bolts.
