Any tips on how to solder 1.5" pipe? I've done a little soldering on .5 and .75".
I got a short length of pipe and a couple of half damaged fittings to practice with. I got propane, but perhaps I need to pick up MAPP. (I also got acetylene as part of an oxy-acetylene setup) but I don't have a torch tip.
Any particular techniques that differ from small diameter soldering?
I wonder which would be cheaper, a small tank of MAPP for my Bernz-O-Matic head, or a torch tip and hose for my acetylene tank? (The tank is about 4' tall and on a cart but not exactly portable. But the 1.5" pipe is near the tank.)
