Laco on the pipe only please Not in the fitting and wipe the joint off with a damp cloth after it has set.

Bl00dy rubbish the worse flux on the market, and very acidic.

I've always used everflux and make sure the joint is wiped clean afterwards.

Everflux gets my vote!

It's a matter of personal preference. My preference happens to be La-co.

Who cares what make it is when the joint is made and the excess is wiped off!

Templar's Telux. So mild you can use it as sun cream. Yes you have to clean the fittings well, but no chance of pinholes as with aggressive flux even if it drips on stainless anaconda.
