I have a actual mandrel bender that goes in a vice. everything I have read states it is simular to SS but can not be bent to as tight of a radius cold. if you can heat it you can do anything with it. I can also free bend it around a pipe as ling as I pack it with sand first to keep it from colapsing.

as for brazing, Silver solder is a brazing, actualy one of the strongest brazes there is. It is done using a oxy accetalene set up as a normal propain torch isn't hot enuf.

I am going to order 4 tubes tonight (unless more people want some) so I will have one or two to sell.
