[AT] solder that float

[Chris Britton]

I would not hesitate to try to dry, flux and silver solder that float before
I bought a new one.  The metal is so thin I'm betting you can do it with an
iron or pen. A torch might melt the seams.  Silver solder is easy to find in
the plumbing section.. many core types available.. and electronics houses
like radio shack sell a small tube for a couple bucks just to try to dink
with.
