Hello,
Shortly I intend to extend some old pipe-work contained in a cavity wall; these pipes are quite green and “scarmy.” Posts on this forum concerning joints in inaccessible places suggest that soldering is the better option.
Although quite familiar with soldering techniques in electronics my experience of plumbing soldering is limited. I have a container of Yorkshire flux which although old, has hardly been used.
Question: would posters advise using the Yorkshire flux or invest in some La-Co flux, bearing in mind the condition of the pipes and my inexperience of this type of soldering?
Thank you,
Barry
