that lot - all within the space of a few hours too!

NB; Thre are different fluxes available, there is one in a beige

called Tempus or something
like that, 'the mild flux'. It is OK but needs all surfaces to be

cleaned. On the other hand, an aggressive flux like 'Everflux' will
make a
joint without having to clean the joints at all! Some people dislike
agressive fluxes because of their corrosive natures.

And aggresive flux is not recommended when soldering gas pipe runs :-0
