Hi,

I was in a PM the other day and noticed a leaflet for a solderless
copper bonding liquid. Does this stuff work and how long do the joints
last for? The website for the stuff was
http://www.kalimex.co.uk/section.htm...01.02.&pgid=30

This chap is pretty happy (review on this page):

But seems expensive - £10-00 plus p&p to do 40 "welds"? What is a weld -
a single 15mm connection? I'd assume so.

Also interesting that B&Q were touted as stockists (in 2005) but seem no
longer to list it. I would have thought it just up their street - high
profit, appeals to inexperienced people, etc.

Also - only usable for 12 months. Not therefore ideal to keep in the
shed on a just-in-case basis.

Nonetheless, I would consider it for that damned inaccesible joint that
urgently needs to be made.

200 welds for $30 sounds better

True. It could be 12 months and a day otherwise - or a decade. No
information.

Must admit, my mind thought of buying some for a particulaly awkward job
and leaving the remainder in the shed.

Hi

I bought a bottle from B&Q last week, reduced from 30 quid to 20 quid
for a large bottle - they had small bottles (not reduced) too. I
usually use solder ring connections and this worked out a lot cheaper
as I bought end feed.

All went very well, will let you know in 20 years if it's all still
ok

Cheers
Kev

You should note it's an insulator which may or may not matter.
