    I don't think I have read in this bit of info about soldering....the
    solder has to be as clean as the bezel and the base. Solder oxidizes
    while it isn't being used. I pull the wire solder through a 3M
    Scotchbrite pad before each use....I don't cut snippets and store
    them, they also will oxidize. The same with sheet solder, it should
    be cleaned before each use. Storing those extra snippets will not be
    clean enough to flow.
