You can get it in semi-solid form and apply with a toothpick, or in a flux pen, or in a liquid that can be shot onto the joint with a bottle that has a metal needle-like applicator. I like the bottle, but they all work. The WB5RVZ instructions include links to a number of videos and other tutorial sites that are very informative and helpful when gearing up for a daunting building project. 73, Tony KT0NY -- http://www.isb.edu/faculty/facultydir.aspx?ddlFaculty=352 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
