Parker Double Repair question

[B. Dudley]

The lugs are NOT silver soldered. They are Wolff soldered using the same solder as the ribs. If you are trying to beat it to the point of getting silver solder to melt, then you have surely discolored he metal to the point of needing re-bluing. And possibly compromised the ribs. But this would not be an issue if they were properly clamped to prevent movement.

Okay educate me. And Wolff solder is?

If you read my earlier posting you'll see that I did indeed clamp everything down before applying any heat. I fully intend to re-blue the area around my work. No damage or discoloration has occurred and the ribs have not been compromised.

I would also like to know what Wolff soldering is.
