Awl--
For 1/2" to 1 1/4" copper pipe fittings.
Possible to desolder *and* be able to re-use them?? Worth the trouble for the various fittings, T's, unions, etc? 1 1/4 unions are expensive!
Any special techniques beyond heating/wiping, heating/wiping? Wipe w/ cloth, steel wool? With, w/o flux? I think I've done, mebbe once, and it was a pita!
Btw, I found, at Home Despot, something called Tinning Flux, which lightly tins the surfaces `*before* you actually add solder. I think this is pretty neat. Any opinions? I would imagine it cleans as well as non-tinning flux, but I haven't compared.
Thanks!
