Tom, I read the Smith Kettlewell files, and they were very informative. For some reason, I had the idea that folks used hemostats to solder with. How likely is it that a fire could start from hot solder?

Assure you're bare toes or guide dog or any other vulnerable parts are not under ther when flipping.
