Russ, I have ordered it from two different welding suppliers in the past. It was 1/16" stiff wire from Handy & Harmon. The 85Ag/15Mn stuff I used is also known as Silvaloy 852, Silvaloy, Z85M, Braze 852, and BAg-23. I'm sure there are other high silver, high fluidity braze alloys that you could use. Just avoid cadmium and zinc bearing alloys if you want to paint over it. I mentioned this stuff because it is very fluid and would fill your crack without messing up the crimp serrations on the bead- if your skill level is up to it. Last time I bought some was almost 4 years ago, and it wasn't cheap then, about $50 for an ounce.
