    I filled in some low spots this morning with more solder, just for cosmetic reasons.
    Did a little more soldering, and got the first coat of primer on the tank.
    Looks like I’m going with “Light Ford Gray” tractor paint on the tank…..
    same as I did on the cylinder.

    I learned the “wet rag” to wipe excess solder back in 1982 when I built my house,
    plumbing everything in copper tubing. The first time I turned the water on I was
    proud I didn’t have any leaks……. that lasted about 30 seconds when one
    joint blew apart…….. that I forgot to solder!

    Prepare to be boarded!
