    Hi Bruce; That's what I switched to from Batterns.  I'll bet that's a
    contributor to the problem, since it seems the problem for me started
    at that time.  Have you noticed that the Griffiths seems to form a
    dirty looking foam as it melts?  I still suspect the silicon though. 
    Been a bit discouraging for my apprentice, as I've seen him having
    the same problem you describe in melting the area before the solder
    flows.  I've had to work to convince him it wasn't something he was
    doing wrong, since about half the time I take one that's gotten away
    from him and get it to work.  But then, I'm a bit slicker with a
    torch.  He'll be relieved to know I wasn't just trying to make
    excuses for him.
