    While the tack welder (I have a Tack II)  seems to work well for
    things like findings onto a piece I have not found it to work well
    for larger assemblies like domes onto sheet etc. And it is next to
    useless for silver. I do use super glue to set up complex assemblies
    before soldering and it works quite well. The super glue is only used
    to position the items to be joined you must provide some form of
    support for the work so that it will be held together by something
    other than the super glue. I will use binding wire or soldering clay
    so that once the super glue burns away at 300-400 degrees F the work
    pieces cannot move apart.
