SHOP WORK...Soldering Flashings

[@leanorlando]

That Melted like Butter. Nice job man! Came out great.

[@Straycurrent]

Nicely done. I've wondered about that process but never seen it done -- glad you made the video. Thanks.

[@hefalump56]

Thanks for this video Billy. I learned this skill for my father many years ago in New Zealand. I did a little myself as a teenager but haven't touched it since. Here in the US, it has been difficult tracking down exactly what I need to solder 30 g galvanized pipe seams, but your video and answers to questions have helped immensely. Thanks again.

[@boots7859]

4Not sure why its hard to find. Any hardware store will have propane/butane torches and fuel for $15. Finding a solder should be easy. Acid also for removing galvo. Unless you need to do a lot of it, or production quantity, I think its a lot cheaper with gas vs getting a bit 250w iron.

[@drummerdem50]

Excellent work , I enjoyed that Billy. Thanks

Billy, Good stuff. Thx

[@decem_unosquattro9538]

Good job and well done. Thumbs up !

[@victorsr6708]

Fun to watch. In 25 years on the service side of the industry I’v never had to solder galvanized sheetmetal until now and I just needed a little reassurance that this is how it was done. That’s for the video

[@BillyKnoth]

Thanks for watching

[@acechoice45]

Enjoyed the video billy as always I like sheet metal work great job lol I'm still learning how to use a Pittsburgh lock former lol

[@BillyKnoth]

Lol... Hang in there

[@harrydickson4575]

+Billy Knoth​ Great video Billy!

[@hvac01453]

I've seen radial tubing soldered before.... I think it was for a hospital. I did some sheetmetal soldering in 1965. The soldering iron was heated in an open gas fired mini furnace, Then clean on a white plastic like block then tinned with solder. Thought it was Kool.

[@adrianvilla7700]

hvac01453 I’ve been taught by my old man, and that’s exactly how he does it, one in the burner while he uses the other one, first time i asked if there was a quicker way, jajaja, he told me, if your looking for the lazy way, just leave 🤣🤣

[@mdevidograndpacificlumbera1539]

Hi there! Great video, very informative- but I have a few questions, hopefully you can answer. I assume this process could be used on galvanized sheet metal for roofing? I have some flashing that needs soldering- what kind of bar solder are you using? And how about your torch iron? Thanks again!

[@nexus01gr]

@@N.California I had to google it because I'm interested too. It seems that a Tin / Zink solder is what's commonly used for galvanised sheet steel. It ranges form 85% Tin and 15% Zink to 60% and 40% respectively. Hope this helps.

[@BillyKnoth]

Thanks Ralph...

[@BillyKnoth]

Yeah ...you just gotta find that sweet spot and it melts so quick.... Thanks for watching!

[@seekertv7568]

Is that possible in stainless steel ??

[@centaurus777]

So... Did it work? I was so busy head banging I missed the video! :-D

[@highqualityroofingrepairsa9368]

Where did you get that machine to weld

[@adamsorell4851]

what solder is that??/

[@NoferTrunions]

Yeah, what alloy solder and is the muriatic concentrated? (seems conc since turning yellow)

[@BillyKnoth]

Nofer Trunions 50/50 solder. Straight muriatic acid.

[@NoferTrunions]

Thank you so much for the reply. I'm in the midst of a roofing job where all the flashing (step, valley, apron, cricket) is being done with 4 sheets of 4x10ft 24ga galvanized - what a bear to work with! I was "eyeball" diluting the acid 50/50 and yes, I could have used more cleaning action. So conc it is! I have a collection of maybe 20 rolls of solder, most of which the labels have come off. It is amazing how these solders vary. Some don't seem to stick to anything no matter what flux I use and one acid core roll wets like alcohol - impossible to wick a copper pipe joint. I had one nice roll of 50/50 which I used up. Next one that was barely usable was a 40/60 rosin core. The rest should be used for fishing weights... It's just that I have so much of this stuff....

[@vincentlouiegacal7432]

What kind of torch you use to weld?what that calls?,

[@harleyjune1233]

very nice job - what iron are you using and do yiu have different for different configured flashing? thanks

Five years later still no answer on the iron. What is that thing!

[@jeffreyyeager1398]

Can the same principle be used for aluminum flashing?

[@BillyKnoth]

No... Unfortunately. Solder won't stick to aluminum

[@EminHVAC]

Cool video man. Have you guys ever mig welded them or you guys just solder?

[@BillyKnoth]

we don't weld.... just solder... our welders were under sea water during sandy.... I won't turn those things on...

[@EminHVAC]

Billy Knoth oh I see, smart move I wouldn't turn them on either lol.

[@dauntlesschicken9756]

Do you apply the solder to the iron or to the workpiece?

[@BillyKnoth]

The iron

[@soeaung1043]

What type/brand of flux did you use?

[@BillyKnoth]

KILLED MURIATIC ACID

[@randallblue3176]

Wat kind of torch is that

[@thefiathospital]

what solder bar are you using. is there a link to buy ?

[@BillyKnoth]

No link sorry.... Look for 50/50 bar solder

[@hakanakkus3773]

Merhabalar öncelikle kolay gelsin kaynak yapmadan önce sürdüğünüz sıvı nedir acaba

[@01nastythug]

What type of sheet metal are you using

[@BillyKnoth]

24 ga. Galvanized

[@rk3592]

What brand / product of flux are you using?

[@BillyKnoth]

We use a muriadic acid for galvanized....and stay clean for copper and stainless.....although the stay clean worked well for the last galvanized pan i did. What do you use?

[@rk3592]

Harris Stay Clean for stainless and galv. both, cant find a muriatic acid flux locally

[@BillyKnoth]

We get a gallon of acid at home depot...

[@rk3592]

Never even dawned on me to check lol, I just checked my welding and HVAC distributors, my local welding supplies vendor carries all Harris products so been going with stay clean, works fine, but probably more expensive than getting it by the gallon, thanks for the tip

[@BillyKnoth]

no problem !!!

[@halfwaydecentvehicles]

What song is that?

[@mjmurawski]

Hi Billy........ 1 question what type of torch where you using where can I get ONE. My dad he used to heat it Gas stove top but he's in Heaven now. or can some one who knows please send me a message......THANKS. BTW GREAT PRESENTATION BILLY !!!!

thanks billy, job well done. I like to try this but I don't have a nice soldering iron like your. I wonder if I can use my mapp gas torch

[@iamtheman7018]

@@BillyKnoth Try a simple propane torch and Stay-Clean flux. Much faster, and you don't need the coppers or furnace. No waiting for shit to warm up. No Sal amoniac, no cleaning the coppers, no harsh acid. You can ruin shit real quick though, with too much heat.

[@boots7859]

@@iamtheman7018 Even better, use butane. Burn at 1300c vs propane 2000c. Just use it at close to its lowest setting so you're not putting too much heat into the metal to reduce warp. $15 plus some solder and you're good to go vs $200 for an 250w iron. Unless you're doing a lot as shown here, its cheap and easy using gas.

1.flux (muriatic acid) 2.soldering iron 3.?

[@muniznick]

Thats a beefy lazy susan and that soldering iron is on steroids.

[@iamtheman7018]

Wow Dude - Things you should mention: 1. Muriatic acid is very nasty stuff. Don't get it in your eyes or on your skin - if you do you will not like it - douse with water. If you leave any out or forget to cap the bottle the vapors will attack nearly everything metallic within a few feet. For long term storage you might want to "double bag" the bottle as it is relentless. 2. The solder used in most(?) tin shops is 50% lead/50%tin. Not a giant hazard to handle but it. is. lead. and lead is poison - store it and handle it as such - Shiny little blobs of metal and bendable shiny sticks are the sort of things children are attracted to. Obviously if whatever you are soldering will be in direct contact with food or drinking water you must use a lead free solder. 3. Do I have to mention safety glasses? As a youngster I had the pleasure of having a tiny blob of solder plucked from my eyeball. The minute you are near ANYTHING that has even the slightest chance of getting in your eyes you should put them on. Simple common sense.

[@mitchdenner9743]

Take that safety shit somewhere else. If your that dumb and can't solder with out hurting yourself then you deserve it.

[@funkypotamus]

Thanks for the solder info. Exactly what I was looking for.

[@boots7859]

I agree, and am rarely the safty-nanny. Common-sense tip- Soldering or acid in use means goggles at the minimum, gloves don't hurt. Also, if you have acid, have 2 pails of water, one with baking soda in it. I can see why they use MA as its cost effective, however for the home gamer who wants to try this, just spend $8 and get the small can of acid flux. Its doubtul you'll ever use the full can, so savings are small vs risk of having a jug of MA. I really doubt there are any children whatsoever running around that place.

[@sergionavarro2122]

No gloves?? Sheeshhhhhh

[@BillyKnoth]

Why?

[@johnlucier8572]

When working with muratic acid I see a lot of people without glasses. That is so dangerous. Why take chances? That's so foolish..
