Silicon Bronze Main Caps and Babbitt
I have silicon bronze caps to install A crank in T block. Can't seem to be able to flux the caps to accept babbit. Tried different temperatures and flux. Any ideas.

1 flux was Eastwood. Using the babbit to tin. I'm not getting the shiney finish that a tinned steel cap gives you.

I'll assume you're getting things as clean as possible, but perhaps are burning the flux?
