Hi Jan,

    Well I got a delivery of plumb silver solder from my friend the
    other day and started to use it. To my chagrin, it would not flow
    nicely as it had done the first time I'd used it. Then I remembered
    that I had cleaned and pickled the first lot when it arrived as it
    was a little grimey. So I pickled one of my new panels and tried it
    again et voila perfect solder joints! 

    I may well pickle a few panels and snip them up as I have been
    doing. I'm sure if they're pre-pickled and stored in a small air
    tight jar they should be good for as long as the jar's contents last.
    We'll see. 

Many thanks.
