Hey just want to get a bit of feed back on cold weld. I want to do the screw mechanisms but I'm using 3 mm brass tube and I don't have the tools to weld it will cold weld do. Or will I have to tig weld ?

Re: 1/32 komatsu excavator
 

You'll want to solder brass, with a very hot soldering iron or small propane torch.

You can find some input at You Tube. RC Tractor Gay show the building in some vid's.

Hey thanks for the videos I have seen them b4
When I use the torch do I need flux or does the solder have enough thanks for ur help already

Re: 1/32 komatsu excavator
 

I've always used a flux, it flows the solder, makes for a better joint.
