Is 400 degrees anywhere close to hot enough?
I doubt it, given that (a) my Weeler TCP is normally used at 700F or 800F
(depending on which tip I fit) and (b) an emergenice repair to a (food
cooking) oven element involing some soft-soldering of the wire end held
fine for a few hopurs at around 400F.
