I am about to purchase 50 troy ounces of a 56% silver brazing material for my husband, and this stuff sounded so expensive that I decided to figure out the exact amount he would need so I did not buy way to much. However I can not figure out the correct amount can I get a little help with this problem and were I should look if I have this weird question come back up again
He tneeds to put down he said 160 inches on steel and I know he wants me top order him a 3/32 coil then he said something that did not make any sense, he said he is needing to with a 1 inch overlap (WOW) Ok I can not be anymore lost someone come to my rescue.
Thanks
Kristy

I was told to buy what ever it took to get enough brazing stuff so I thought I would order a 50 lbs of 56% which to me seems like a lot

Hey Kristy,
You have most of the information that you need but you still cannot determine an answer. You are missing the weight of the material. If you already know the weight per a given length or the weight per volume than you can calculate the correct amount.
You may be better off speaking on the phone with the supplier. These people are anxious toe sell so they will do just about anything that you need to fill the order. If you tell them you need 162 inches (160 inches plus 1 inch of overlap per edge) of 3/32 56% silver brazing they should be able to tell you the weight and the cost.
Rather than relying on just one supplier check this price against several and see if they are competitive.
A supplier may not necessarily have the material you need. They may want or try to substitute a different material. This may or may not be acceptable depending on your application.
Hope this helps.

The information in your question is unclear.
I would suggest you buy a small amount of the supplies. Let your husband use that up first. Then seeing the amount of work done when the supplies are use up then judge how much more of the supplies you need.

I suggest you ask this question to your husband.
