KITCHEN TOWEL!!!! omg!
Doesn't it break up & leave fluffy bits contaminating the joint?
IMO it would be much better to use the applicator that can usually be found in the lid of the tin
Don't you start
For all the idiots that are unable to understand.
AND ESPECIALLY FOR MATTYLAD. THE KITCHEN TOWELL DOES NOT BREAK UP USING THE CLEANING FLUID. THE BRUSH IS FOUND IN THE SOLVENT WELD TIN AND IS NOT USED FOR CLEANING (SURPRISE). ANY MORE DUMB REMARKS? HOW MANY MORE STUPID POSTINGS ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE? LAST WEEKS WAS A CLASSIC......
The manufacturers are generally the first port of call for PCB repair.
Failing that you could always try a local little TV repair shop & speak to the actual repair bod.
(thats a repair shop, not one that just sends em away).
DO THE FORUM A FAVOUR AND STICK TO ELECTRICS
THE KITCHEN PAPER TOWEL IS USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CLEANING FLUID TO CLEAN THE INSIDE SURFACES OF THE FITTINGS AND THE EXTERNAL SURFACES OF THE PIPE-ENDS REMOVING CONTAMINENTS SUCH AS MOULD RELEASE AGENTS ETC THAT MAY PREVENT A PROPER WELD FROM FORMING. ALL EXPLAINED IN MANUFACTURERS LITERATURE.
YOU CAN OF COURSE IGNORE BEST PRACTICE RECOMENDATIONS...I DON'T REALLY GIVE A TOSS.
WHAT REALLY ****ES ME OFF IS WHEN SOUND ADVICE IS GIVEN TO A DIY-ER AND THE SO CALLED "PROS" ON THIS SITE DENOUNCE THE POSTING AS GARBAGE TO COVER THEIR OWN COWBOY WORK ATTITUDE.
ARE YOU STILL ILLEGALLY WORKING ON GAS BAMBER?
MODS COME ON, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER
....THERE'S BEEN SOME RIDICULOUS POSTINGS LATELY....ITS DECENDING TO SCREWFUX LEVELS.
From the Terrain MI:
Step 1 – Cut pipe square, de-burr and clean mating surfaces with 9101 Cleaning Fluid (Fig.2a) using a dry, clean, natural fibre cloth (NOT synthetic)
Step 2 – Coat mating surfaces with 9100 Liquid Weld (solvent cement), using a clean brush (Fig.2b) (Replace lid on container to prevent evaporation of cement) NOTE: Use a 12mm brush (or larger) for pipe sizes over 50mm diameter
Step 3 – Assemble joint immediately, removing any excess cement with a clean rag. Initial set: 10 minutes. Final set: 12 hours
Or from OSMA:
Solvent Weld Joints
1. Read instructions on can before using solvent-based cleaners or cement. Ensure adequate ventilation
2. Ensure all parts of the pipe or spigot and socket are dry, clean and free of dust and grit
3. Remove grease from pipe or spigot end of fitting and socket with Osma Degreasing Cleaner 4S.379/380. Apply liberally with clean non-synthetic rag or absorbent paper
4. Use the applicator provided or a brush to apply one even coat of Osma Solvent Cement (No. 2) 4S.383/384/385 to both mating surfaces. Stroke cement along, not round, the surfaces
5. Insert pipe or spigot end fully into the socket immediately NOTE: Each solvent weld joint must be completed in 1½ minutes
6. Hold for 20-30 seconds
7. Remove surplus cement from the mouth of the socket. The joint may be handled after 10 minutes and commissioned after 24 hours
