Once it has cooled .. File flat , so as to leave a thin layer of solder .

Do the same with the cross peaces . If you have problems with heat un doing some of your work next to the part you are working on , use clamps on them as well or use wet cloths . I hope this helps the best thing to do is to pratice on some scrap . Dale

Hi Dale - thats exactly how I do it but I have always added to much solder causing it to flow all over - don't know why I didn't think of using less and filing it down does the job. When in doubt ask a master!

Thanks JOE

Thanks for the quick explanation and pics.. Now I can go back and attempt to do my exhaust shrouds over on the Panther, correctly and cleanly this time.

Many thanks for the walk-through Dale.

It's the little things like filing away the excess solder which make these sorts of pieces outstanding.
