Joe, soldering is not one of my strong points, more a necessary evil. Often I have to clean up joints with a file, whereas a person skilled in soldering can just do a clean joint.

I do use a pencil torch for everything but electrical or electronic wiring. I've never had good success with solereing irons for flat work, and I absolutely HATE soldering guns.

Still, if ya wanna make brass parts, soldering is a necessity, and the joints are strong, and can be reworked if needed. Dan
