As for soldering, I leaving room, I have about 8" to go, which I'll complete after I solder the feeder on.

Do you mix the 70% Isopropyl alcohol in with the glue/water mix? I never thought about doing that before, does it work just as well as applying the 70% Isopropyl alcohol/water mix before applying the glue/water mix?
