Could this weld/solder the metal ring (that holds a votive candle) back on a wrought iron bracket?

Highly doubt it, you'd need to be able to heat both pieces to melting point of solder. This tool will likely melt itself first and still not have enough power to do what you want.You may be better off with a propane torch like the kind used for plumbing.

Not me, but as stated in my review, I would not consider this solder strong enough to repair cooking utensils,although it is very useful for other purposes such as fixing light jewelry.

It is soldered on, but looks like it could be easily removed. You would then have to extend the leads.

yes, you need to get an aluminum spool, use argon only, no mix, and preheat the object being welded

NO, it won't get that hot, you need a forge for that. Lead has a much lower melting point.

Initially, I would say no. I would verify that with the manufacturer. I do not believe the element would hold up.

A good question. I suspect that it would depend upon the location of the repair. The weld material is designed to be rigid once cured. If the repair area remains oriented on one dimensional plane throughout its function, then the repair would probably hold. If the repair area is subject to repeated flexing on one or more axis, I think you'd be asking a great deal of the weld. Good luck with your repair.

Yes I have soldered ring terminals onto it. You'll have to use a torch. They do sell a all copper wire to I believe. You'll get better performance out of the all copper, but for my application this worked really well. Knukonceptz have really good products. I'm using them for all future purchases.

Unfortunately not... It must be welded. I tried and it fell off when I went over a bump... I will warn my weld is rusting......

If the pipe is made of copper and using solder then yes. To weld a steel pipe?; - NO!!!

Yes. I tried to do it but the attachment is more expensive that the welder itself.

No. It's designed for styrene plastic welding. You could maybe get the pieces to stick together for a short time, but there would be no strength at all.

yes I'm pretty sure it will work I have used a small butane torch to do soldering with this before it and it worked great

I use it to hold my hair to my curling iron. It can withstand 375 F for about 30 seconds. I wouldn't use it to solder.

Sure - but you have to know where the weak link is. In some cases the magnet to metal connection may be stronger than the glued connection so when you try to pull things apart the glue connection will "fail", i.e. separate, instead of the magnet separating from the metal.

Yes, with certain materials. A higher than 4% silver solder (40%, for example) may require an open, hotter flame to solder. Go to Youtube and search "How to solder jump rings with Dremel Versitip" for an excellent demonstration.

Yes, it can work but, you have to use the biggest tip and limit the amount of metal that is being melted and try to keep the crucible from losing heat by some means. It is great for repairs and assembly and I think is really designed around that.
