[TheForge] Working copper

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

Many thanks for the advice on edge joining copper...very much appreciated. 

But a question, Dave, and probably a dumb one. What do you mean by 'tinning 
the tabs first'? Do you mean just fluxing and putting solder on them or 
actually putting tin on them? I do have some pure tin if necessary. I'm kinda 
guessing that is just an expression for soldering but I aint got too many 
more pieces of copper to screw up and trying to get it near right. 

Also another question, if I may: If successfully soldered, should I be able 
to cold work them flat just as if it was the copper sheet, without them 
coming apart?

Kindest thanks again
