A bit of advice please...
I've fitted a lead lock and a new internal stop tap in an old, empty shop. It was a pain because the outside stop tap doesn't work, so I had to freeze the lead pipe. The other problem was that the lead pipe only sticks out from the concrete floor/brick wall a few inches.
I got the (7lb) lead lock on and tightened it up, but it still drips. I tried some of that clear gel (LSX?) but the dripping water pushes it off.
What should I do next to stop the dripping? I know tightening too much on copper can cause its own problems, but I'm not experienced in lead.
Thanks in advance for you help.
