	And, for that matter, you can usually get away with flux and the  
solder that is already there. I seem to remember that's what happened  
the couple times I did it (had the solder out, but didn't need it). I  
agree about the torch - not a real high-powered one, just a small  
flame (I have a tank and a tip my wife used to use for silver  
soldering piece work for jewelers).
