Re-soldering Kettle Spout.
—Refixing a spout in a “tinned” wrought-iron or copper kettle. The spout and that part of the kettle which comes in contact with it should first of all be filed bright and clean. Next place the spout in position, apply killed spirits, and hold it over a bunsen flame, as in [Fig. 41], until sufficient of the strip solder is melted to flow around and sweat through to make a strong sound joint. Should any difficulty be experienced in getting the solder to flow readily, apply a little more flux.
