Have to do some pipework shortly, Whats the best way to clean up the
old pipe which has paint on it, Prior to jointing.


Soldered joints, already been described.

An alternative is to use a compression fitting to join old and new
pipework. These are more forgiving, though that doesn't mean they
can just be slapped on without preparation.
