yes it is off topic but you see Tisme broached the subject and I followed on because there is no thread covering that particular subject....Tisme staring talking about asbestos and lead poisoning..A bit off topic for climate change aren't we ?

At a pinch borax powder and water paste
You're not reading through your rage again are you. LOL.
And yes I still keep my hand in using my benders, expanders, swaging tools, pullers etc. I have oxy sets and many MAP/Pro gas sets. Two weeks ago I was brazing 8" copper on a chilled water plant to help my employees out. I also helped stainless steel weld a manifold to header those pipes.
I have migs, tigs and stick welders and I can chew gum when I use them. I stitch weld, I plasma cut, even have spot welders.......I am a GOD! I have several personal workshops where large investments in tools, machinery and project cars reside.
I was classically trained in the railway workshops to gas weld, electric weld, braze and solder and what's more I had to pass exams including material stress and pull testing and boilermaking/smithing/plumbing is not my original trade, although now I have multiple certified trade qualifications. I would hazard a guess you have nowhere near an idea of just how able anyone here is and it probably galls you to think you might have been bested by a more ubiquitous person and someone who has a bigger gas axe tip than you do.
Dammit I have run out of red rags

Just another diversion from the real subject Tisme...I don't really give a stuff about all you welding equipment...You seem to be a JACK of all TRADES and master of none.
I want to know how do you braze lead which is 600 F (315.5 C) melting point?....You were the one who mentioned lead brazing....Now this time stay with the question...
When soldering what percentage lead and tin did you use on galvanized iron, copper and lead?...What flux do you use on each metal before soldering?
You can use copper benders on small bore copper pipe but how do you bend copper tube of larger diameters like 2"...3"...4"...and 6 ".?

You don't braze lead at 315.5 deg C. You soft solder at that temp master of none.
We were trained to make zinc hydro-chloride flux via hydrochloric acid and zinc and use resin/rosin fluxes on the electrical joins. We would work PGI with blow torch and stick solder and still do on sealed ducting, although a Birko style electric is our choice of preference.
We pull large bends when resistance is a problem otherwise buy preformed. If you need a masterclass just ask. We also have hydraulic mandrel benders
Hardly worth making a science out of a home economics level trade.
BTW my record for apprentices of the year is fairly impressive for a master of none.

Why did you mention in your early post about brazing lead?...Now you are saying you don't braze lead...You seem to have contradicted yourself on this occasion.....Perhaps maybe you wish you had not opened the subject.
Yes you can soft solder lead but you are obviously not familiar with lead burning where you do not use solder...I lined dozens of acid vats 8'x 4'x 4' deep and no solder could be used...these vats held Surphuric and Hydrochloric acids......Solder and acid are not a good combination...Now then would you like me elaborate on the process so that you have a better understanding of lead burning?
I would also like you to tell me how you bend 2" to 6" copper tube.

No cobber, you'll have to learn how to punch above your weight if you think I'm giving you anymore free training.
Your comprehension skill are consistently woeful and I'm too busy writing intelligent posts on discussion boards and social media, while still running a company to get down an dirty over basic trade skills.
I'm kinda pleased you have something to hang onto from ancient Australia, but time marches on and so does rankings of technology as important.
I bet you still have a leather patch for lead wiping too
Well Tisme, I can see I have got you rattled because you do not have the answers on the subject which you started.......You don't know a bee from bull's foot about lead burning or copper pipe bending or the percentage of lead and tin solder used on various metals......so now you wriggle out by saying you are too busy....I have forgotten more about plumbing than you have learned.
I am sure you wish you had not started this conversation because it has become such an embarrassment for you.
For you to be running a company, you sure spend a lot of time on ASF.

Still trolling and jealous much I suspect.
If you want to know my basic training familiarise yourself with the once biggest workshops in Oz and many parts of the world and renowned for turning out he best trained in Oz for the many disciplines. You could never appreciate the skill sets I have and what's more I have no desire to debate them so you can attempt to debase them.
Your mealy mouthed behaviour, as usual, is to personify your obscurity and narrow focus as something of an exclusive club, a club that few have a desire to join. My mistake was to offer you some conversation about soldering and brazing, but as expected you went all magpie and attacked to protect your precious nest. My bet is you have few people who (can be bothered) argue with you in real life?
I know you have a very ego and high opinion of yourself and love to look down your nose at those whom you think are inferior to yourself , but if you are genuine and would like to learn how to lead burn, bend copper tubing and steel piping 2" to 6". I would be happy to explain it to you...We had to do this before copper capillary fittings and weld neck steel bends and tees became available.
But I guess you will ignore my invitation knowing how you could not possibly lower yourself to learn something from an expert on the subject.

Heavy going in that post format Noco!
The lady is right, how do people think solar panels and wind farms are made? Disposing of toxic materials in solar panels will be a growing problem.

But perhaps nothing remotely as difficult as dealing with the millions of tons of pollutants spewed out by coal fired power stations at the moment.
You know the ones that are largely responsible for creating hideous air pollution in China and which the Chinese government has vowed to stop by moving very rapidly to solar and wind power.
Not to mention of course the fact that the billions of tons of CO2 spewing from coal fired power stations are the direct cause of the the escalating rate of global warming which is destroying the world we know and most of us with it.
"[...]If you don’t know about or understand the evidence that shows incontrovertibly that we are warming the planet, you are IGNORANT. No sin here. You can rectify your ignorance by hard study.
If you refuse to put in the hard study, then you are WILFULLY IGNORANT and your opinion is worthless.
If you refuse even to look at the evidence even when it is shoved in front of your face and still insist you understand better than all the experts, then you are a DENIALIST.
Finally, if you insist that all the scientists are engaged in a global hoax to preserve their lucrative grants (which amount in salary to about what a mid-level IT administrator would make), then you are an IDIOT.

General news this morning, "200 extreme weather records broken in the last three months"
Coming up on ABC tv as I type.
Coming up on ABC tv as I type.
Where is your proof?...Which part of the 2,500 km long Barrier reef are you talking about.
Most of the coral bleaching that took place last year was north of Cooktown...No mining or agriculture run off....The Greens are full of exaggeration.
From the WWF ....
http://www.wwf.org.au/what-we-do/oceans/great-barrier-reef/coral-bleaching-on-the-reef#gs.X=KptdI
Reports effected areas off Lizard Is This month...
"WWF oceans campaigner Richard Leck said he was “shocked and saddened by what is unfolding”.
“Scientists warned that without sufficient emissions reductions we could expect annual mass bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef by 2050,” he said. “Consecutive bleaching events have arrived 30 years early.”
WWF also released footage on Monday of severely bleached coral at Vlasoff Cay near Cairns, where cinematographer Richard Fitzpatrick filmed sequences for David Attenborough’s Great Barrier Reef series."
“Now with the water sitting at 32 degrees all the way to the bottom, the corals are dying. Many are already dead and covered in algae.”
“The reef is facing an imminent danger of mortality at a level that far exceeds last year over a greater geographical distance.”
Pictures of newly bleached coral were taken in recent weeks at Moore Reef, near Cairns, by the reef scientist Tyrone Ridgway, as well as by divers further south near Palm Island.
