Reply To: Caille Neptune Gas Tank Repair?

[Monte NZ]

Years back when I was doing similar soldering jobs on tanks and doing car body repairs with wiping metal (similar to solder) I use to wipe the joint quickly with a dry cotton rag or paper towel while the solder was still plastic. This worked well for me and if the joint wasn’t quite right I would reheat and repeat the wiping.
NOTE.I have used a gas torch, to reheat, but be careful not to get it too hot and oxodise the metal. A good electric soldering with plenty of “grunt” is possibly the safest bet.
