Hi All, I need to make up a fairly complex shaped lead flashing to go around a pipe tomorrow. I fancy having a go at soldering the seams. I saw a programme on TV a couple of years ago when this was being done using a narrow strip of lead offcut as the solder but can't remember if any flux was used. Is it necessary and if so what should I use? I have some Baker's Fluid and ordinary core solder as used in electronic work. Thanks In advance Bob I might suggest that you get some plumbing flux and plumbing solder as this will melt IIRC a bit below the lead, so you have less chance of the whole thing ending up a soggy molten mess. Any way good luck... -- Tony Sayer |
