NOTE: Boric acid powder can be added to the methyl alcohol
solution in a ratio of .5 to .7 ounces per quart. This should be
premixed. Boric acid with methyl alcohol provides a reducing
characteristic to the flame. This will keep your parts cleaner when
brazing (hard soldering).

Turn to the tip selection chart and select the desired tip size. Turn
