Mark,

Great info. I can see how I could easily have used this technique when I was brazing copper tubing to my Brazed Plate heat exchangers.

Did you fabricate your hydronic space heater for your bathroom? Sure would like to see photos and learn more details about that one.

Also, earlier you mentioned about rinsing out (or off?) flux with muriatic acid... Is this an internal or external operation? Could you go into more detail there... I'm right at that step on a project I'm doing and I could use that technique right now. Do you need to neutralize the acid before gassing the system up?

And lastly, I don't know if you have a digital camera, but if you do, it would be extremely useful to have a few photos mixed in with your descriptions.

...if you need some help with how to get the photos into the blog, just let me know.

Thanks very much for your help.

Regards,
