Stained glass supply stores carry it. I THINK they sell small rolls of
the lead-free silver/tin alloy for about $4-$6 (at least they USED to; I
haven't been to the SG store in a LONG time--no time to play with glass
in the past couple years ).
I have successfully used it to repair a badly broken cage weld; however,
you have to be certain to wash ALL the flux off the cage before using
it.
