Default Re: radiator failure

Not so easy.

My friend Phillip is a particularly clever engineer so I asked him if he could solder my radiator. He said no he had neither the solder type which he described nor the currency on soldering. I asked if a plumber could do it as that is their work and skill and he said no again. Most of them don’t have that skill these days, they are too accustomed to using new products such as PVC and silastic.
Phillip went on to say that it needs a radiator repair shop for they would suspend in an acid bath for a period and use the correct type of solder. He went on to say he sends his radiators to a radiator shop. Not as simple as I had imagined.
