That isn't solder, that is glue. It may form a perfectly fine bond but the title 'How To Solder Copper Pipe Without Flame' is not right.

@Kremerneon Solder is defined as 'Something that joins or cements' and the verb is defined as 'To join or unite'. So the description of this video and product is perfectly accurate. You're correct that JFC is not solder in the old fashioned sense however it is also not a glue. It is a chemical weld.

I'm curious if this would be usable for seaming a half circle copper gutter overlap that is normally soldered, providing the surfaces are clamped together & fit snugly?

[mickswis1]

@tbone45040 JFC would not be suitable for this application.

@Khvac If you can't spell you probably shouldn't be posting on here.

If u cant solder u probally should not be doing plumbing work.

@WXIIIR Rare? Nope, there is copper in houses all over the world. As long as the plumber used lead-free solder then there is zero danger. Copper tubing has been used for the last 3000 years with no harm to humans. Stainless steel is not completely stainless, it will pick up stains and nastiness and breed germs. Unless it is food-grade quality, like they use in beverage manufacturing, if that is the case it will cost you an arm and leg.

@mickswis1 That's all i wanted to know. Thank you very much for your answers, you've been very useful.

@WXIIIR Here in the UK copper has been approved and used for many decades in potable water systems and absolutely nobody has ever suffered any kind of poisoning.

@mickswis1 Nice, but copper starts to oxidate and i guess that as the time passes it would be a bit normal to ingest quite a lot of copper wouldn't it? I mean it would be good for antimicrobial properties but if it gives you after years of drinking from copper tubes some kind of heavy metal poisoning it won't be good. Do you know if this happens or usually copper poisoning happens by other reasons?

[mickswis1]

@WXIIIR Copper is known to have antimicrobial properties which is not the case with stainless steel.

@mickswis1 Thanks. Do you know if it has some benefit compared to stainless?
