If it has only just melted you get more of a fillet, but this is hrd to control. I used it to do this little tank for the shunter (about 1 1/8" high, from 0.7mm brass. First time I've tried something like this - it left several joint lines visible as when I attached the base a the solder in the curved joints seemed to run out. A bit of hi-build primer should sort it out though. Neil

Also noticed how puny my blowtorch is compared to even the smallest nozzle on my propane torach - there's no hot 'cone' with the blowtorch - it looks like the legendary paraffin blowlamp bushy flame, but isn't very hot.
