Hello all, I have been building a K2 and now a KPA-100. I am using a solder pot for tinning toroids and would like to know how often to replace the solder in the pot. I have been skimming the top which removes flux and debries. I used a 1/2lb off a flux core roll and found it contains too much flux on the top, so I skim the top as it is heating to leave a thin layer on the top. Should i be reintroducing more flux as I go, and should I be removing the burn't enamel some other way? Also what temp works the best, this thing smokes pretty good at 750*F and seems to burn the flux. Anything much less and it won't tin properly. Thanks -- Rick
