I have used this method before and it has to be said without much success.\u00a0 I decided to try again and I have come to the conclusion that previously I just didn&#8217;t get it red enough &#8211; this time the cheapo Microbox type drills went through it like butter.

Well I had the feeling and finally pinned it down to the fact that the chimney was just not quite on square so I heated it up and attempted to nudge it. I must have been a bit vigorous because the next second it was on the floor. The good news is that in knocking it off I had spread the solder a little in the right direction and putting it on square was a simple matter of putting it in place and then heating it with the microflame until it sank down in the solder.
