Hi:

Would apprecciate help. First time working wuth brass or soldering anything. This is to make parts for the 1/24 Ferrari 250 GTO.

I'm trying to solder a couple of brass rods with a 25 w soldering iron.

It melts the solder when I tin the tapered surface, but when I touch this tapered surface near the joint to be soldered, IT DOES NOT MELT THE SOLDER AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO...

Should I buy a 40 w soldering iron? Is that the big difference? Or am I doing somethig else wrong?

Thank You
