Hey Beamer,
Yes, I have checked the outhouse, er NEX. They have zero solder or flux. I do have rosin core solder (old as dirt, and the rosin is pretty much leached out) an iron, 1400 watt, but it simply doesn't get the fitting hot enough to solder, I have tried. I have a perfectly new, copper ring type 4/0 solder fitting, and can't get the tools to utilize it. I have tried to crimp it, but simple crimper pliers won't do the job, too stiff. I left my small butane torch in my major tool box which of course is in storage.
