Thanks for the hints! The website has lots of good information.

Hi David!

I bought a mini oxi-acetylene torch ( it will be delivered wednesday ).

I'm using some bricks where I place the parts to be soldered.

Thank you very much for your help.

*** I'm returning to the model making after 30 years and I'm new to the model steam world.

Cheers

Hi! I'm constructing a boiler following an youtube video from Myfordboy. I'm in the soldering phase and came across an issue. I soldered the two plugs on the top cap with ease but when I tried to do the same for the water gauge plugs at the tube the silver solder didn't flow. I'm using a MAPP torch with 30% silver stick. The tube is a 3inch by 1.5mm. I mantained the torch open for more than 5 minutes but failed. Do I need a more powerful torch?

Thank you!
