melt it on Do not have the iron too hot
or the solder will adhere to that. After
two or three trials you will do job to
be proud of. If you do not own a solder
ing iron procure one by all means; but
when hard pressed take the knob on the
end of the fire shovel, or a smooth piece
OF iron will do, or you may hold candle
under the spot to be mended.
