    Flux and solder

    Thanks for the advice. I have always preferred Utility Flux, but I did find a premium grade of Canfield's solder (100% WaterSafe). I will give the #95 Tinning Flux a try, though.

    tankless heater for very small house

    Electric sucks. Do go with AquaStar's (Bosch) standard model. It doesn't matter how big the model, it's the demand. I have one and will NEVER go back to tank heaters.

    Preference for solder and flux?

    Americast or cast iron tub?

    Is Americast equally as strong as a cast iron tub (like they claim)? Do Americast tubs need mortar under the bottom to give them the cast feel? I'm putting in tile on the walls and above the tub, so I DO NOT want to EVER have to rip all that tile out because of a CHEAP tub.

    Best bathtub

    I am remodeling entire bathroom, actually moving it to back room. This is a rental property and I would like to know what is the best choice of tub type. I was going to go with enameled steel, but I notice that many people are against it. I can't understand why. Fiberglass gets too dirty too...
