Default Disposable Nappies!

Hi

I'm often faced with the 'turn the water off & disconnect the pipe'
scenario. Always get that 'pipe full' of water that goes everywhere.

It occurred to me that disposable nappies are incredibly absorbent - a
little Google research reveals that they contain a chemical which absorbs
water & turns into a gel.

Apparently a single disposable nappy will hold between 3 and 5 litres of
water!

Given how cheap a pack is, it seems the ideal solution, especially when
removing radiators.

Anyone ever tried it?
