Well done stew, my solid stay is soldered in, as long as you get a good seal don't suppose it matters. |
| Dean W:
Looks good on your home hydro test, Stew! I'm sure you'll be all flying colors on the big test day. Best of luck! Dean |
| Stilldrillin:
Stew, you lost me a little while ago..... ::) That was when a piece of pipe went ping, and you started talking of stays, wet headers, to solder, or not to solder, that is the question! GOOD LUCK, for the test day! :thumbup: David D |
| NickG:
Yep, good luck Stew - you don't need it mind you! :thumbup: :clap: When if I ever get mine ready for testing I'll have to leave my regulator in as the two screws that hold it in need to go into something. Suppose could seal with nut underneath or something and bung regulator up as that is likely to cause leaking? Cheers, Nick |

Thanks Guys I repeated the test this morning using copper slip to seal the threads it worked great. I then cut off the spikes and cleaned the boiler up with a brass wire brush. Then I couldn't resist seeing how it looked between the frames Starting to look like a proper loco know. Stew |
