Well, I know they had to "burn out" the old liner to ash and then remove it. I think from there they had some kind of acid dipped staged. I'm not sure which process melted the solder joints; the acid bath or when they were burning out the old liner. At the end they washed it and heated it up to get all the moisture out. I am pleased with the way it turned out though. I'm sure I'll be happier when I get it back from the radiator shop all assembled, lined and ready to go. Hopefully by next week!
