Karen,
I know how you live for the back and forth petty arguments, sorry to disappoint you, this will be my last post on this thread.
The man said what he prefers, that should be enough. Why should he justify his reasons for you and Ted? He needs no qualifiers, those are his opinions. Some guys like blondes, I prefer brunettes. So what?
I have no issues with my status on the board and having my posts delayed, it's Dave's sandbox and he can run it as he sees fit.
Unlike an inexperienced troll such as yourself Karen, I have formed my opinions on corrosive and rosin fluxes over a couple of decades of experience soldering ribs, fore end lugs, sight bases, sling swivel bases etc. I stand by my comments, learn to use rosin flux and there is no need for corrosive flux and the extra step of neutralizing. I tend to lean towards traditional methods in my restoration work.
Your vote is your choice, just like my vote is my choice. Don't like it Karen? I can send you a very, very tiny box of sand for you to pound if you like. I still have your address, or did you move out of your mom's basement? Maybe into the garage? All this dredging up the past makes one wonder, are you still hacking the PC's of members of this forum? Ah, the doxxing days, good times and fine memories.
Enough rolling in the mud for now Princess Karen.
PS, I sent you a PM the other day and you didn't respond. It seems your box is full again
All my best.
Steve
Princess Stevie, I am replying to your stupidity, point-by-point. The only reason we have "back-and-forth petty arguments" is because you have an insatiable need to demonstrate your foolishness.
Your new boyfriend TransGomer Joff made a totally absurd statement concerning preferring a refinished gun over a closet queen, and both Ted and I questioned and commented on it. That's what happens all the time on these forums, whether you like it or not. If someone had confronted me or Ted after making a similar dumb statement, you would not only have no problem with it, but you'd likely join in. Deal with it.
You say you have no issues with being subject to Post Moderation and having your posts delayed... yet you keep whining and crying about it. And if you really respected how Dave runs his BBS, you wouldn't use it as a venue to run your inappropriate Free Tagline Advertising of your For-Profit business ventures. But you still refuse to even say whether you have been paying Dave the $12.00 fee he requests for each and every sale resulting from your Free Advertising. So much for claiming to respect Dave!
I am not employed as a gunsmith, but I too have done a good deal of soldering various items. Considering you farm-out work to others, and I do my own work, I've likely done much more soldering, brazing, and welding than you. I learned that there are many different fluxes for various processes and solder alloys. I also learned that soldering flux containing zinc chloride or ammonium chloride like the Oatey No. 95 has been used by gunsmiths and gun makers for well over a century, and is just as "traditional" as rosin flux. Oatey No. 95 also does a better job of tinning than any other flux I've used, and I've obviously used more than you. The extra step of neutralizing is no big deal, and even rosin flux leaves some residue that may need cleaned up in visible areas. The extra time needed is far less than the considerable time you waste here Trolling your Trump Derangement Syndrome and support for anti-gun Democrats.
Insofar as to your claim about leaning toward "traditional methods" in your restoration work, I'll just say the Daly's Pro-Fin you say you prefer for stock finishing is hardly a traditional slacum. Just more B.S. and lies from you.
My vote is my choice, and unlike you, I choose to vote for candidates who understand and respect the clear language of our 2nd Amendment. My Mom died years ago, and you know I never lived in her basement. You did enough internet searches of me to go to my County Auditors website to learn whose name is on my deed. I also did not move across the country to BrokeBack Mountain Colorado, like you did to hide your gender bender lifestyle from your family. You still claim that I have hacked the PC's of members of this forum. That is illegal, of course, so why have you not had me arrested? Your gutless doxxing was intended to intimidate me and drive me away. How's that working out for you crybaby?
Aren't you glad you resorted to some more rolling in the mud Princess Stevie? Now how about finally answering the $12.00 fees to Dave question. It may be the million dollar question before you grow a pair and fess up.
P.S.--- I did clear one PM from my Messages to make room for a PM from any normal heterosexual member, and it took you a few weeks to notice, and send me another PM. Of course, I did not open it or respond... same as always. If you have anything to say to me, you should say it here in the open forum, because you cannot be trusted.
P.S.S-- You worry about the small extra step of neutralizing flux residue, yet you somehow have the time to keep sending me dozens of vulgar Spam PM's, knowing I don't even open your messages. And you always have time to roll in the mud. How is it that you have time for stupidity, but don't have time for cleaning a little residue of a better performing flux? In my opinion, you are just a closet Democrat fraud and troll.
