Simple but works….
I have had very good success using a regular soldering iron connected to a rheostat; like the type you would use to dim the house lights, a rotating knob for easier adjustment, and mark the sweet spot on the rheostat so you can reuse it easily. Make certain the soldering iron tip is fresh and clean before you start!
I can use this set up without over heating/burning the powder or Roplene Welding Rods when making a repair.
Do a little practice on some scrap before going in for the kill!
Good luck, HIGH&DRY
