Just a bunch of particles stuck together at elbows and knees.<br /><br />And your shank wasn't properly imbedded- you need to get it in enough to hold, and once you've imbedded it, you need to let it dry with no fooling around, and fire it. Any wiggliness before firing will result in a failed shank.<br /><br />You can solder it on if you like- that's pretty straightforward and a very good solution for a permanent bond.kate mckinnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717335644899326566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291316226799683115.post-17622640926249809652012-01-21T21:52:56.195-08:002012-01-21T21:52:56.195-08:00Lovin Cinderella as a name...there is magic and en...Lovin Cinderella as a name...there is magic and enchantment in that little hot box for sure!<br />:-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11537587762130842211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291316226799683115.post-48086726295717828042012-01-12T06:38:10.357-08:002012-01-12T06:38:10.357-08:00That's lovely!
