Default Solder vs. epoxy for copper pipes?


"PE" wrote in message

Hi all: I recently noticed that Home Depot is selling a copper bonding
expoxy product in the plumbing dept. that's billed as being as good as
solder. Seems like it might be a useful alternative to use on joints in
tight, enclosed areas where heating the parts with an open flame is
difficult/dangerous. Would appreciate any informed opinions regarding
whether or not the product referenced above might be an acceptable
substitute for solder in the circumstances mentioned. Thanks for your
replies!!

I used it once several years ago. The joints are still leak free. That
doesn't prove anything, but is encouraging.
However, I went to use it last year and it had gone bad. Way too expensive
for two joints!
