Old Ford Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 first off you need a jig, mine made from mdf and small nails. then cut the copper to size, clean with wire wool and flux the ends etc. place in jig with cocktail sticks underneath so solder goes right round. then start up the torch, heat up copper when hot place solder on , around joint. it will flow around the flux. job done. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 so tris you need. 1/ copper pipe 3.5mm and 2mm. 2/ solder. 3/ flux. 4/ small torch. 5/ gas 6/ wire wool or wet an dry sand paper. 7/cocktail sticks or similar. 8/jig. wood and nails. 9/ spray water can just in case of fire. 10/ damp cloth. 11/ cutter to cut copper pipe.
