Brilliant. At least I got that right
Wow, makes sense. The silicate stuff is pretty expensive anyway and I’m not in a rush so I may as well do a more permanent fix first as last....
That was my dilemma, I haven’t totally discounted it but I’m airing on the side of caution and will practice a bit before I attempt it on a decent...
Hi Mark, Sodium silicate it is then. I’ll start my brazing learning curve on a lesser stove. If there is such a thing. Kind regards Dave
Hi Mark, that’s the kind of constructive reply I like. ( not to belittle the other replies) Sodium Silicate or stove cement are great ideas as I...
I did take a photo but it was pants, I’ll have to have another go. I’ll also look around for some 30% rods as recommended. I’m pretty sure the...
Yes that’s what I’d guessed. I’ve never brazed before so I’m watching video’s etc and trying to work out what I need. Doesn’t look much different...
Lovely, Thankyou. I did search but didn’t come up with much. All the best.
As said in the heading I have an Optimus 199 that works perfectly but I’ve noticed two flames coming from where two of the 4 tubes join the burner...
I know sorry, I stumbled across it yesterday and commented before I realised it was 6 years old! I’ll shut up!
The op asked if they were fantastic and imho they are. That’s the point. Exactly what I said. And as I say a bad workman blames his tools, when...

This must have been asked before, possibly by me but my Optimus 111T needs the sticker for the lid. I electrolysis’ed it, re sprayed and serviced...
Hi Julian, it obviously depends on the state of the tin but I think I left mine overnight. Other things have done in a few hours, 3 or 4. I bought...
The decal is on here somewhere. It’s not the sharpest quality but it’ll do. I printed it on white waterside paper and sealed it with clear spray...
After studying the photo’s of the stove before I resprayed it there seems to be what looks like a crows foot on one of the pot supports.[ATTACH]
I know this post is old ish now but I’d just like to post my latest eBay acquisition. According to the original post it’s a #1 stove. I’ve...
That’s the best way, I’m just messing around really as opposed to real fettling. I have done a few 111’s and 8R’s etc. This one has been used...
I do normally but the one on the fuel cap looks and feels new. The pump is the nicest I’ve felt so I’m leaving it. I’m dealing with the rust...
I took a punt on this Enders 9060D on the Bay of evil. It looked a bit rusty so didn’t hold much hope of the condition of the pump etc but after a...
