[QUOTE="bulldog, post: 175546, member: 4592"] Wanted to add a few things this morning. The propane was not getting the job done so I switched to MAP gas and it worked great. I am not sure if I will use propane for anything else again. MAP gas gets much hotter much faster but propane is $3 a can and MAP gas is $9 a can. After the wire wheel was taken to each rivet, I thoroughly cleaned each rivet with rubbing alcohol. The Durafix just was not binding correctly until I used the alcohol. It is very important to heat the parent material and THEN the rods will melt. DO NOT heat the rods or they crack like the Cardinals did after the All Star break. =D> [/QUOTE]
