I am going to give this a shot. I use Laco so no cchange needed there. Going to be quite scary at first but I can see how this could save a lot of time. I actually think I might make a compromise and just clean the pipe as I have lots of emery cloth to use up. Still will be time saving I betHonestly. I clean nothing but the very dirtiest of pipes and i know even then i don't need to but i do out of habit and because it is cheaper than a drain down. Never cleaned a fitting since around 1985 when self cleaning fluxes came out.
If you switch to traditional fluxes everything needs to be spotless or you will get leaks but it looks so much better.
My 1st 2 weeks in this trade was as a fittings polisher and tea maker. I've hated it ever since.
Btw i've used laco for 25 years.
