Wow! Thanks for that. I will be trying that as soon as possible.

This was one of my planned future projects. My idea was to use an aluminum heat-sink from say a CPU rather then bar stock because it has the nice grooves like in most commercial melting point apparatuses. The soldering iron is a nice idea for the heat source. My only concern with that design is probably air flow. Thanks for the post!

Very useful! Glad I stumbled on this.

Realize the thread is old but I think this is useful enough to warrant a bump.
