    if you contact Palmers, they will send it out the same day - but as it is freepost - the postal system may be part of the delay as I think it might be second class delivery.

    cousins are a good stand by

    Rashbels too - they have sped up their processing times. I got mine the next day after ordering from them, so I think they may have been a little positive on the change following some feedback.

    Cookies, as we know strive to give customer excellence

    Reams have been written about this now Tasha and there is probably enough for a book. But given your aversion to large torches, I would go for extra easy solder. It is still of hallmarking quality but has a lower melting point.

    I am quite confident it will be strong enough, because more than a year ago I re-soldered a wire oven shelf with it and it is still working well. Dennis.

    Thanks Dennis, my local jeweler jumped in with an inch long piece to save me. To be honest I think my little torch is quite powerful, so a bit more worried it would run too quickly but will def keep all the advice in mind when i come to purchase some.
    My fear is a bit weird i'm sort of more afraid of holding a gas canister and the big hissy sound..I really need to get over it lol X
