Has anyone used this stuff and is it any good?

I need to do some pipe jointing approximate 6" underneath a modern plastic/fiberglass bath. I will have a flame mat between the work area and the bottom of the bath, but obviously that is only 12" square so I wondered if I should give the bottom of the bath a spray with some of this too?

Thanks

soldering under the bath has never been an issue for me, i would suggest that you should just be very careful, tidy soldering very rarely needs anything more than a heat mat, don't rely on anything other than that and a steady hand, if you are unsure get a pro in to carry out the work

Ok cheers.
I have done plenty of soldering and have no intention of waving the torch around like a mad-man, I was just concerned about the heat coming up from where I was working perhaps affecting the bath.

Will just go with the heatmat then

yep you'll be fine, just be careful

Thanks Gordon, it's good to know that it does actualy work should the need arise

Fingers crossed for the weekend
