Dear RER,

    Thanks very much for the offer of procuring plumb solder for me from
    H&S. I have one more UK supplier to try first and then if that
    doesn't work I'll let you know - thanks. 

    I use Thermo-loc for setting, which seems to be equivalent to Jett
    Sett. I wouldn't have thought either would be suitable for holding
    things whilst soldering due to the toxic fumes evolved when heating
    such plastics. I've already filled my kitchen with such fumes once,
    before changing my method of heating to an underwater method. It
    wasn't pleasant and I'm sure it wasn't safe either! 

    The wadded paper sounds a good cheap method though. I'll try that. 

Many thanks.
Helen
