Any opinions on Propress

I could tell you were in the mood to get some tools out of this! Never let a good tragedy go to waste

Of course Olly, I just happened to mention there is a real problem with solder flux that's gonna get dealt with in the future as flux contamination moves to the forefront. Horses just need the best. Forget the husband.

Just fill the B tank and get on with it.

That is a spring time project and Franko you are an ol' poop. hut seriously, thanks guys I have learned a lot ( again) about how I am doing the plumbing around here in the future. Seems as though this is a trend that is worth catching on to. After a bad winter there is always a lot to do.

Well in fairness those were 3" and 4" fittings. Still pro-press fittings are expensive. A 1/2" copper T fitting is about $3.00. But they have a time and a place. If I were a commercial plumber it would be a no brainer. Pro-press is quick, no flames or burns. It can be used on copper or iron pipe for water or gas. Those are different and yes also expensive fittings.

Geez....First it's the tracks on the SnowCat,now this..... It's over,Simon..... Best Bet is to follow the advice regarding Your New Job laying the claim to the Title of....Wait For it......."Florida Boy" !! Other than having cockroaches big enough to put a saddle on,they just don't have these problems down there.... Good Luck,My Friend !!

Damn the internet is scary! No sooner mention pro-press fittings and an ad pops up.

Working out how to clear snow and/or keeping warm or wrestling with a 20' Burmese Python in the middle of a hurricane. Not hard to pick.

The Bombardier track was smacked with the caterpillar bucket and then three tubes of grease ..as good as new. Please Lord give me fights I can win.

The hell Simon, those squaws violated me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If ya have any joints that give ya trouble solderin--stick a chunk of bread inside--not sure why that works but it does--probably jus soaks up ANY stubborn moisture.

I think the bread is usually used when water keeps dripping, preventing you from steaming it dry. It makes a plug that lasts long enough to make the joint, then the bread falls apart and flushes on through. Funny story, two of my sons were repairing a water main late at night. A huge plastic line broken underground, both of them are certified to weld plastic. At three AM they have it excavated and are trying to get it dried out, but the water just keeps dribbling through. My son runs over to a nearby convenience store, backs the truck up to the door, and proceeds to buy EVERY piece of bread they've got, hot dog rolls, hamburger buns, tastycakes, EVERYTHING. He is covered in mud, bleary eyed from lack of sleep and 18 hours straight on this repair. The kid at the register is just standing there, mouth hanging open, my son looks at him and says "Been partying a little, I've got the munches."

I sure miss that boy.
