Any of you use or familiar with this product? I love it and use it on all threaded joints around the house.
I have a question I haven't been able to find info on googling around the 'net.
Can this pipe joint compound handle the (temporary) heat from soldering copper fittings?
I have to thread a copper male adapter onto a shower valve and then solder a street 90 fitting to it.
I know this must be done ALL THE TIME but I just want some confidence or experience that it is fine.
I suppose I could thread it on the valve as tight as I can get it and then mark it and then remove it and solder the pipe that way and then hope I can get the 90 to the right position but I'd rather do everything up "dry" and then solder it all in one go.
I see that this stuff can work up to 400 F but I know the heat required to melt solder is about 200 F higher than that hence my concern.
Thanks!
