Not just aboating thing Squiffy, I believe railway chaps do it as well. It gives far greater strength to the joints when soldered. I found it does take a little practice, and being used to multi core solder I wasn't sure on the flux situation.

Many thanks Barry, now to get the bi-carb from the kitchen before she notices its gone. Any particular strength I need to make up.
