How do you apply your flux?

[Keefy]

Everyone will do it the way that works best for them.

I've always fluxed both and Yorkshire fittings will back me up with that as that is what they recommend.

He's right ^

Or a solvent weld thread....glue pipe only , fitting only or both

That one is easy shut the door, leave the lid off and who cares :smile:

Last one i bought last year was about a fiver for a wee tin. Use it if you want really neat joints.

Never tried it, what's it like, I mean is it similar to LA-CO or is it white like... like that other one, forgot what it's called lol.

But how and why does it give neat joints? Never heard of it or seen it before.

It's brown and has the consistency of grease or Vaseline and indeed it is called Yorkshire flux.
It's still available and widely used for soldering electronic components.

I think its none cleaning, the fittings and pipe have to be rubbed bright and the exact correct amount of heat applied, doesnt snot like the self cleaning flux la-co etc

I use steel wool from time to time and much prefer it to strips or sandpaper or fittings brushes or whatever. Everybody to there own thing. Much like 170 posts on how to flux a pipe. It is irrelevant.

How dare you..........
