FWIW: I needed to make a solder repair on my two meter hand held in a
confined area. I bought one of the battery soldering irons and it
worked. This one is made by Weller, (BP645) 4.5 volts, 6 watts,
purchased at Lowe's.

It may be a little light for rib lacing but it would be more than enough to temporarily repair a small tear in a wing or fuse.

Noel, If rib lacing cord can be used for dental floss, how about reversing that and using dental floss for rib lacing in a pinch?

I've done soldering with a match in desperate situations.
