I used plain old silicon spay on the practice stuff. Except when 're-forming'
using the old Sanyo out in the garage. I put Nylog inside and out of the 'training' flare..
Back when I brazed the hole in that old Sanyo, I did make a test loop.
But I didn't have soft copper.. I used 1/2" plumbing pipe, with a tiny flare.
It didn't leak, but I would never use something with such a small sealing surface in a real install..
Not sure if I can save that factory flare. Maybe nail clippers can trim it down to size.
It's not going to start raining until tomorrow evening. (Then rain all day Monday).
So, I've got a lot of time Sunday to fix the problem and start a pressure test..
Might be pressure testing until Tuesday!
