    BITD I can remember gutters being soldered with a version of this that was charcoal or propane heated and then thrown up to the guy on the roof. This was probably a shop version used in automotive body work to join or repair body panels where electricity was more readily available and when Bondo wasn't so common.

    BITD,....
    BITD? What does this have to do with the "Best In The Desert" Nevada offroad race association?

    BITD; I had to google it.
    Oh, Back In The Day. What the hell was I thinking?

    I am trying to up load some pictures of a large Acetylene soldering iron, I have but I get "Fail to upload file" message. All are jpeg format and about 2.5 meg.
    Is that too large?

    I have posted jpeg files larger than that but I now have the same upload problem as you have.

    It must be a system glitch. I had no problem attaching and emailing to myself
