Does anyone do a re lugging service
Hi Folks
I have one or two brass titles and collar badges that have had their lugs broken off. Is there any recommendations of who can do the repairs? Cheers Sean |

If you still have the lugs, you might be able to do this yourself if you have a soldering kit. Or if not, you might know someone who could... as long as they have the equipment and a little bit of practice.

Ah right. I've never tried before so I didn't know, but I was thinking just touching the soldering iron on the badge where the lug goes, then on the end of the lug , reconnecting them and leaving to set.

I use flux, silver solder, then acid dip to clean flux of, then amo gas to age the repair.

Same here, it’s easy after a bit of practice. They key is to have clean, rubbed down and bright joining surfaces. Silver solder will never replicate braze though, I’m still to find something that will.
