borax in powder, and temper it like pap, and lay it upon the
Solder, letting it dry ; then cover it with quick coals and blow,

cannot be well done at one time, you muft firft Solder with the
hard Solder, and then with the foft; for, if it be firft done with
the foft, it will unfolder again before the other is foldered.
