Scuttle fuel tank repairer request.

[Peter Johnson]

I have only slight experience of soldering but can thoroughly recommend "Bakers Soldering Fluid No 3" to assist in getting solder to flow beautifully. It is corrosive, so the job needs cleaning off well afterwards.

Agreed. Bakers fluid can also be diluted in water and brushed on to the surface to aid tinning. A small copper or brass patch should be tinned first and be flat to the surface before sweating it on to the tank. You’ll need a very large soldering iron.
