LFB fillet

on the advice of the framebuilders list I tried some fillets with low fuming bronze. It took a few tries to get a decent looking one, I think this one looks pretty good. though. LFB sets up smoother but my the same token the solidus-liquidus transition is much tighter and it wants to glop all over the place under the influence of gravity. Stick with #4 tip (like a Victor 0), first pass goes downhill with a 1/16" rod to get the internal wetting, then for the fillet adjust to a bigger flame held further away, and build uphill, in quarters, ear-to-crotch, with a 3/32" rod.
