    Make a mix of boric acid and borax (50/50) and add alcohol. Add
    extra Alcohol so the whole mixture can be shaken to mix. Then the
    item is dipped in the mixed up solution, taken out and the alcohol if
    burned to "stick" the boric acid and borax onto the piece. Solder
    away with no fire scale....
