Thanks Mike!

If you aren't a professional teacher, you certainly could be. Your explanation is very much on point, and I know from ARMORCON that you have the patience of a saint.

Nice job Rob. Keep up the good work.

This video popped up .. through the magic of UA-cam when I am going to do some brass soldering for a 1:48 "Critter" chassis (model railroading). Thanks.

Thanks Shaun!

[@Ricksarmoredmodels8539]

That helped a lot, thanks!

[@therebeginner]

Thx, very interesting guide and a first video that makes we want to see the following ones. I just subscribed! As a beginner that has never done PE soldering... yet, I would have liked to see how you sanded the end parts of the tank. I mean, how did you manage to put sanding paper down there without damaging the tiny ridge all around?

[@robrivsmodelinginsanity8578]

Thanks Libb! I appreciate it. I cut the sanding stick and used the tweezers to sand inside the end caps. This was an older video re-edited and the newer vids will be better quality.

[@KristofferNilsson]

Hi Rob, great to see your first video :-) I have been looking for a angled tweezer like that, where did you get yours?

[@robrivsmodelinginsanity8578]

Thanks Kris! I bought these years ago at a show. You can still get similar ones. I will find one and send you the link.

[@damirmejric3441]

Thanx for the video.
Did you try holding the end caps by sticking a thin strip of masking tape to it (fold over itself, like a "flag")? This would give you a "handle" to hold the piece while getting it in the groves where it's supposed to sit.

[@robrivsmodelinginsanity8578]

That’s a great idea Damir. I didn’t think of that. I am going to try and do that next time around.

[@LTModels]

Great video!!! You’re gonna do just fine. Great job on the tutorial. Looking forward to seeing you make more vids!! By the way, how are your ni……. Never mind! 😊

[@robrivsmodelinginsanity8578]

Lol, thanks LT. I appreciate it. More videos soon. Didn’t realize how much time is spent editing and going through footage.

[@LTModels]

@@robrivsmodelinginsanity8578 i would say that’s one of the reasons why I haven’t been active on my channel, but in my opinion, quality over quantity.

[@robrivsmodelinginsanity8578]

@@LTModels ya its not easy and I am not good at this type of stuff. I have so much video recorded on my current build and tutorial that it is overwhelming. Thanks for the support LT.

[@rossomachin]

Try soldering paste instead of wire. This is a way more cleaner way (less cleaning required)
