Hi all,

Over the last couple of years I've gotten significantly better at soldering PE parts but for some reason I just can't get the hang of soldering those darn PE squared and rectangular boxes so prominent on WWII vehicles. When trying to solder those ammo boxes and the such I keep on messing them up somehow. My main problem is that I can't seem to get the edges lined up with one another and soldered as they should.

So, the question is, can you share your technique(s) (for those of you who use solder) when working with these box shape PE parts?

Thanks in advance for the feedback,

Rob

I will watch this thread with interest. One of my goals this year is to solder PE. I've bought the supplies, just haven't had time to mess with it much.
