no...it is finished, but, i tested the 3'' caps on my shotgun. and had a pin leak.
si i decided to sillfloss the cap inetead of soft solder.
ran out of gas, so, i need to cough up $35.00 for a refill.

and thats another story, the welding supply was bought out.
the last time i bought gas, the sob jumped the price of the refill on a B tank by $15.00 pr tank

so it jumped from 20 to 35. which really chapped my ass.
i do not want to give the sob my bidness, but looks like i am being forced to.
i checked around other shops, they all get their refills from them.

i guess i will get more gas after my mad wears off

Bummer, hate them leaks.
pain on the hole to stump up 35$ to fix a pin leak, but if it keeps you from producing it's worth it
