I often find myself using compression fittings when doing small DIY jobs but would quite like to learn some soldering. Most plumbers I have come across (when asking me to supply materials) use the solder or yorkie type fittings and add some extra solder. Is this pretty common? Seems like the route for me.
I hope to find some time this week to get to grips with a pipe bender I bought today too. I have some bits of pipe but might have to buy another length or two of 15mm and a few solder fittings.
Picked up a new rothenberger torch recently but need to get some gas. Got solder and flux.
If anyone has any tips or pointers (even links to good video tuition) on learning, please post, also anything else I should buy!
Thanks
