If you can get the heat down enough.

Yes and no. You could stick two pieces of metal together with it but I wouldn't place bets on it turning out pretty. You can get the metal hot enough to flow the bronze but you'll have very poor control over the heat and where it goes. You're likely have to overheat the whole area and spread the bronze where you don't want it and/or blow through the metal. If you want to fill in holes in the metal I'm not sure it's really going to work at all.

Yes, but if you're asking how, then it won't be pretty.

I do it all the time..just turn the gas down as low as it will stay lit with little blue flames...watch your material so it doesn't overheat/buckle/burn through. don't accidently hit the oxy lever either!!
If in doubt..practice on similiar weight metal. But yes..it's doable. |

All the above. If you know what you're doing, it should be easy. Well, not easy but doable.
Remember, if you heat the brazing to much, the bronze (I think) will start to evaporate leaving a brittle and shitty job. |
