Re: Structural Repair (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2000 18:23:57 -0500charset="iso-8859-1"; The consensus seems to be that the appropriate heat sink should be made of copper, for 2 reasons: 1) It dissipates heat faster. 2) It won't get stuck in the weld. That's what I'm going to try. Thanks; /html/spridgets/2000-03/msg01005.html (8,257 bytes)
