Fantastic! Some awesome hints that other videos did not have, such as putting the solder below the project. Thanks!

Such great videos, thank you. I'm having big issues with getting a tight join, not sure why, but there's a very slight gap, then I file it, but the gap just moves. Would you e able to show how to get airtight joints. I can't find anything about this online. Thank you 😊

May be a silly question but is that the same mineral as the borax laundry powder? Curious

Thank you so much for this video! Does this method also work for soldering paste?

@kernowcraft 2 жыл бұрын

Yes however solder paste has flux incorporated in it, so you can leave out that step!

@joiea9601 2 жыл бұрын

@@kernowcraft thank you very much for your response, I'm having a lot of trouble with getting my solder paste to flow from the top, so I will definitely do the method you have recommended from the bottom. Thank you again!

Hey thanks for helping now I’d like to know which canister is comparable to the Go System MT2055H ( fine flame blow lamp head?). If I can’t find an compatible it would stop me from purchasing the head! In the USA I’ve found ( disposable gas canisters6”l Ultra gas sievert. 2202-83) Need to know if the head connections are compatible? Thnx again Michele Rannells

Thank you, very helpful. Should there be bicarb of soda in the quenching water?

@kimthomson400 3 жыл бұрын

It's not standard practice over here in the UK but I do use a bicarb mix when making hollow forms where there is a greater chance of pickle getting trapped inside. Otherwise, just water.

I would like to solder copper washers and need a good torch. I've looked at the gosystem nozle that your company sells. But not sure which gas bottle from the gosystem would be compatible with the nozle. can it be butan propane mix 2350? Is that the gas you are using? Thank you for your hard work and sharing your expiriance and knowledge with us newbies 🤗🙂

Hi thank you for your tutorial. Really detailed thank you. Could you do a short one re the pickle as I see your using a baby bottle warmer. Which I think is genius, especially for small work benches. As I’m trying to set mine up. Many thanks 🤗🥒🥒🥒

Hi I've had a few people ask me to do a studio tour showing my set up which will include my high tec pickle warmer 😂 I'll try and get it done soon.
