Shut off is soldered on...and I can't solder. So I've cut it off, and cleaned the pipe, but theres a sizeable "blob" of old soldered on the under side.
My concern is that it will interfere with my Sharkbite.
I've used a rasp and emery cloth to reduce the blob, but do I need to remove it down to absolutely smooth, like the cleaned copper is.
Four months ago I had to do this identical thing, and the Sharkbite is holding well.
Really need this fixed because I'd like a shower. Lol
Thanks for the help.
