Copper pipe care

[sophiejazz]

We've just had a new combi fitted with new copper piping in the airing cupboard (which used to house the old cylinder). The pipe work looks good and my husband wants to put a clear acrylic coat to preserve the look of it. I'm not so sure it's necessary. Any comments?

Your husband has too much time on his hands.

I have heard it all now

What he should really think about doing is lagging the pipes to prevent heat loss

i understand 22 carat gold plating is popular with the odd oligarch and a few Arabian royal families

Brasso it once a month it will get shinier and shinier!

Any chance of a picture? We like nice pipework round here

Patination Oil is the thing...keep it looking shiny

Not to disappoint - great work done by a 27 year old lad.

Keep it clean Dan! (Ha pun not intended) we're talking about copper pipes here

The pictures are not what I expected.

What are you putting in the cupboard? It will all be covered anyway. Life is too short to be admiring pipes

I would spend more time on the **** floorboards to be honest

 

[FiremanT]

Do they not do double clips down your way?

Ah, that jobs all lined up along with the new shelving. He's purchased the spray laquer, we'll see if it wins out over the Brasso. All I need is for him to take as much interest in tidying the garage - a project 8 years in the execution.
