    Use the fire brick to get a hot spot, lower the fluxed wire
    vertically into the flame just 2mm above the brick.The reflected
    heat on the brick will help you reach the temperature needed to melt
    the end, remember to use flux to get a smooth melt, and the hottest
    part of the flame!
