[QUOTE="Super Dave, post: 1919223, member: 8429"] WD, I believe Dustin is correct. I'm no metallurgist either, but I do know that TIG would not be as hot overall, as you are only focusing heat in a tiny area. Soldering requires the whole two chunks to heat up. I can lay a tiny weld with the TIG, and you grab the barrel a few inches away immediately after the weld. The heat will gradually spread as the weld cools, but you can control that. Wet rag, water, whatever. It is not a structural weld. It only has to hold a little pin in place. I like the TIG thing (in theory, as I have done only mine) better for that reason, and because I am currently out of oxygen, acetylene, and have no 1,100 deg solder. [/QUOTE]
