MFH soldering psa

[Bozothenutter]

For those interested:

The whitemetal in my MFH 1969 Ferrari 312F1 stands up to 240degC.

This makes soldering with Chipquick paste very easy, though it takes a while for the bigger parts to warm up.

If MFH didn't change formulas, this should count for other kits aswell.

I've never soldered any of the white metal kits I've made, including a number of MFH kits. Why risk it?

For giggles really.....

I didn't want to use the resistance solderer, as no real control over temps.

Was wondering about heatsink,  so had a go.

The soldering paste really helps, just smear the mating surfaces,  clamp, and heat.

Then you start testfitting more parts,  and find out the intake manifold on woukd never work it its location (too low)....

I have soldered a number of white metal kits, but I use a low melt solder with a low temp soldering iron.

It makes for a really strong joint and can be disassembled if required. Also the solder can be used as filler if necessary.
