David,I've sent you a PM.Regards, Steve
Comol is a 'not too soft solder' with a 396F melting point so ideal for a small fix on silver soldered work with a little 'hole'. It did the superheater this afternoon so maybe we go with it. One drawback is that once used you cannot go back to silver soldering, it has some muck in it!
Best of luck, David. I'm sure that the truss you have fitted to her underside will stop her belly sagging. Regards, Steve
talk to your boiler inspector first. see what local current code requirers before doing work on your boiler.John
Why does the word "Fareham" keep going over in my mind I thought it was a long lost memory but I am getting De ja Vu One of the reasons I moved over to stationary engines was I didn't need a boiler .Jo
you have my sympathy, too.Phosphor bronze rather than brass for fasteners is, I believe, a pretty general requirement, and PB or gunmetal for fittings.Over the scratches, copper is a ductile material and not notch sensitive, but you seem to have enough material to polish them out anyway.
Nice one, David Now, tell me, how many boiler inspectors are left at your club? Regards, Steve
