Can you use an epoxy instead of soldering or brazing and if so what epoxy. Would be to join coax to brass rod on an beam antenna my son is building, doesnt want help and he cant solder so i offered to ask if there was another method to connect the coax |

You may be able to use crimp connectors instead of soldering. Conductive epoxy is prohibitively expensive. Not only is the cost high, but the shelf life is short. Also, according to an MSDS sheet I just read you can get eye and skin irritation. It recommends gloves and eye protection. Zak Lau W1VT ARRL Senior Lab Engineer |
