Thanks for the replies guys. This is all good information. So from reading the comments so far I have a couple points to clarify.

1) You guys use the same 60/40 solder to tin the bbls and ribs as you do for the actual joining of everything back together ? So I would need just one type of solder ?

2) Is the acid flux absolutely necessary to tin with ? If I use acid flux I know I'll have to clean it up but Kutter apparently uses something that requires no clean up ?

I'm probably confused more with the various types of fluxes and solders then anything else. I think my skills are such that from following the directions on the picture trail and others directions I'm hoping for reasonable results.

So besides the wire and/or clamps and various other items, I'll need just regular 60/40 solder (no flux core in it) and either acid flux and rosin flux or some other type of flux that will work for both tinning and joining ?

Sorry for all the "basic" type questions. I'm just trying to make sure I'm using the right stuff for when I give this a shot.
