Sooner or later the blow pipe solderer will be called upon to make repairs on Britannia metal, and will be surprised to find that it will be impossible to solder the metal, owing to the excess of moisture under it. The best way to overcome this, which is practically the only trouble that occurs, is to cut out a small square patch. The edge can be cleaned and a patch of new metal carefully fitted into the hole. When ready to begin soldering, a piece of blotting paper should be inserted between the patch and board. This paper will absorb all the moisture and allow the seam to be neatly soldered. The man who makes himself familiar with the blow pipe and torch soon finds himself in a different class from the ordinary everyday mechanic, and if mechanical ability be accompanied with sobriety and stability, the possessor will always command a good steady income.
