Default Keel cooler cast into lead

Oops! Acid flux depends on being washed off after soldering. Might this be
a problem?

With my small diameter tube I am not to worried about the bond but I will
sand blast the whole bolt frame/condenser assembly and paint the tubing
with an acid flux formulated for tinning copper pots. I found that the
copper/nickel wets out much better with it than regular acid solder flux.
