Solder paste or strip (and other questions!)? Please help!

Hi,
The hammer you want is called a blocking hammer and is available from Walshes www.hswalsh.com (codesTH248 & TH249) at £22.57 plus tax. And no, Mrs Walsh is not my auntie.
Kind regards, Dennis.

That's great, many thanks Dennis.

Oh well - it's taken me all day but I've finally sorted out my order and clicked 'checkout' eeeek! Decided to get strip solder in the end. Thanks for all the advice everyone. Hopefully I'll have some more shawl pins to show soon. Just need to sort out some pickle and something to put it in now (already decided to use Silver Prep for this). Thanks!
