    Hello all: Has anyone tried any kind of soldering clay to support
    irregular pieces during soldering? I'm trying to solder multiple
    curvy forged objects together: no good places to place binding wire,
    or pin down. I read the recent discussion on Super glue, but if it
    gives way before soldering temperature is reached, that wouldn't
    work here. 

    I'm looking at Rio's "Water-soluble Soldering Clay", p 331, Tools;
    described as "special fast setting investment clay". 

    Has anyone tried it, or something similar? I don't mind if it takes
    some time to set up and dry. If it works, it will still save on the
    time spent beating the head against the wall. 

    Thanks in advance... Lin
