Hi Group
No aeroplane work done this past Wednesday. Well at least not done at hangar!
Fdale home decided to "LEAK"!
Water in bathroom, hallway and kitchen? Couldn't EZ determine where it was coming from. Ripped out sheetrock from under sink and behind dishwasher and found malady.
Major job to rip out entire wall and replace all plumbing. Real jigsaw puzzle.
Went after pipes with 50 and 80 grit sandpaper, Carbide tipped scribe and Denatured Alcohol. Then pre-bent expanded Aluminium with Fiberglass scrim and is self adhesive to holes, then filled with JB KWIK Weld.
Had electric heater warm things up. Then put fillet of Flox in corner of junction of pipe to female fitting flange. Then 4 BID. The BID goes completely over the flanges. One flange is a hex and BID conformed perfectly.
The small pipe to right had a Copper pipe laying against it, so it was surgeon skills working with an inspection mirror.
Pipe to left is about ~13" long and some of it is hidden behind wall, rot was only ~ 6" long but went full length from flange to flange.
Hoping this is a permanent fix.
