Today's work involves soldering up all the stays. A cut down tooth brush works well for getting in the water space to clean the copper oxide off the plates and make sure it's clean around the stays even when they are in place. Fluxing both sides of the plate seems to assist pulling the solder through for a guaranteed connection.
A bent artist's paint brush was also found to be of good use to get the flux around both sides of the stays.
Happy boilermaking to you!
