I filled in some low spots this morning with more solder, just for cosmetic reasons.
Did a little more soldering, and got the first coat of primer on the tank.
Looks like I’m going with “Light Ford Gray” tractor paint on the tank…..
same as I did on the cylinder.
I learned the “wet rag” to wipe excess solder back in 1982 when I built my house,
plumbing everything in copper tubing. The first time I turned the water on I was
proud I didn’t have any leaks……. that lasted about 30 seconds when one
joint blew apart…….. that I forgot to solder!
