I use a solder flame torch for all my soldering. I use Forney lead free solid core solder and a Japanese mfg'd thin wire lead free rosin core. The big Forney works great for strength soldering and the wire solder is good for flowability and delicate areas.

Here is the mess on my bench. Can you spot the red solder torch? What about the rogator, lol!

Well then that makes this even more amazing. I know how hard it is to solder delicate and intricate parts like these with a flame, getting one thing soldered on and then another with out un-soldering the first, or having it move on ya..

NICE WORK!!!

I really should get some butane for my little torch, sure would be easier than using my big 14oz propane torch...
