What's best for refrigerant fittings Staybrite silver solder or
SilPhos15?

No gap filling needed. These are standard copper connection fittings
vs repairs.

Well, I don't think that Staybrite would do much for your pipes.

Might reduce your heat gain?

The couple times I've used brazing sticks, they take a lot of heat,
and do an OK job. I've not had a lot of success with brazing.

I was introduced to Stay-Brite 8. Which is a silver bearing solder.
And that has worked very successfully for me for many years.

You forgot about Silly Putty. Bend over and I'll show you another use
for it. It'll help quiet where you do most of your talking.

Sounds like fun. You may be suprised afterwards though when you wake
up two months later in the hospital and none of your limbs seem to be
working anymore.
