[QUOTE="1660bob, post: 39168, member: 366"] Peter, I assume you are trying to solder the meshes in place as per original?I would not remove the plating as such, I would clean out the socket itself back to bare brass, perhaps with a suitable drill bit to sweep away all old mesh/debris/plating and when clean and bright, tin the socket fully-(gently and slowly,small flame on the body so as not to blue the chrome)If you can manage this OK then offer up the mesh also previously tinned and gently heat the tap body to sweat the mesh in. The mesh is probably best tinned with a small electric soldering iron as it is so fine as to oxidise quickly if a flame of any size gets near, that`s how I`d attempt it, Bob. [/QUOTE]
