After going thru 30 loaves of all kinds of bread, without success, I decided

told by numerous people about the bread trick, but they all have one thing in
common-none of them have ever tried it themselves. THE BREAD TRICK DOES NOT
WORK!
I did not have as good results with "just for copper" as you did. My
solder joints USUALLY work.

I was fortunate that 45 years ago i was taught by a couple of guys that
did joints all day long the right way. This was a department that built
copper tubed radiators/coils with thousands of joints a day. I just
trust solder to last forever if done properly. Adhesives have improved
but I wonder if there is a time that they may become brittle.
