Good solid advice from her and always enjoyed her writings even if the topic didn't interest me as her words seems so liquid and something natural about them like she was there face to face.

Re: Got Any Tips For Re-soldering A Cap ?

I used to solder stainless fittings for a living (silver) if that means anything. When we replaced/repaired joints it was very easy to apply solder to the joint and apply heat using a slightly carburizing flame until the flux ran clear then apply silver. Done.
