Soldering...mmm

There's alot more to soldering than most people realise isn't there?

I've made a few Loco's in 4mm scale and I have to use Low-melt solder and be very careful vis-a-vis Iron temperature. The white metal I work with usually dissolves if you go too far with the heat, and I've been very hesitant to use it in any great strength, so I use mostly superglue Gel... and solder only the brass chassis. I use a thirty watt iron for that, but I've found practising on low melt with even an 18 watt iron is risky at best.

any ideas?...jules
