What did you flux with? It makes a difference. Anhd I may have missed it but did you say what the temp was? Besides "not hot enough"?
On E-bay they are going for about 275.00 on average, with a die, from what I have seen lately. I have 3 so don't need another, but I sometimes see them while looking for other items, like the steel...
