I do quite a lot of silver soldering in my workshop CuP alloys are a good place to buy the consumable stuff as already said.
For bigger work I use my Oxy Acetylene kit. But for smaller jobs like putting brass nipples onto copper oil or fuel lines, a MAPP blowlamp works perfectly well and is capable of providing enough temperature even for some of the higher temperature Silver solders. For ordinary work, just use the standard flux -EF flux (AKA easi flo) , but for larger parts it's best to use the HT5 (AKA Tenacity) flux, it withstands extended heating times without burning up.
