Beautiful amazing to me that glass fits into tin!!
LOL! For sure!
The cap is actually brass for strength, and the technique of coating it is called “tinning.” Why they call it that, I suppose – has to do with the composition of the solder used (60% tin / 40% lead) to coat the brass. And fitting – OMG! – well that’s a whole other story – as you will see in the videos that follow!
Thanks for tuning in as I work on my video instruction skills!!!
