Hi All

The problem with filling a tank with water is that water is a superb heat sink.  Getting the repair area up to temperature with a copper solder iron is almost impossible. It’s a blunt tool but I’ve found a heat gun with a cone on the end works quite well.  Be careful though the element in my gun gets cherry red and occasionally emits a spark!

Cheers

Howard
