Job was finished Thursday night 8pm, lare& long day, too long for me & hard work.
Anyway, I had to solder very near to unvented cylinder & combimate.
I was tired & aching, unvented was ok’ish, I just caught a label, used a heat mat but just caught it.
Above combimate I heat matted up, tricky but ok, wasn’t 100% happy or confident as the moaning builder was constantly looking ovymy shoulder. Fill system & leak! Only too 2 mins to drain as it was under boiler. Resoldered & ok
Knocked my confidence again
Tues & Wednesday was all good, fitted rads, pipe etc. I also did some good bends without wasting pipe.
Back to square 1
Just waiting for superfire delivery & I might find some scrap pipe to have a test.
Enjoy the weekend all

when you're soldering if it looks like the solder hasn't been drawn into the fitting then brush some flux around it add the heat and the flux will be drawn in, apply the solder again
