I have a pin hole drip in one of the solder joints in my half inch
hot water line. I shut off the hot water, opened some valves and
drained the line out through a spigot I have in the garage. I thought
Id be able to heat the joint enough to get the solder to flow, but I
can't get the joint hot enough, even with oxy-acetylene. Any
suggestions On how I can repair this? It's a very tiny leak, I just
happed to be looking up and saw the drop hanging on the joint. Thanks
for any help. John Mitchell
