No, no, no. The way I learned from "Big Tony" was transmission fluid. And a loaf of wonder bread.

He invented the bread trick? WOW! I never knew who it was, thanks!
(Looks to me like he ate more bread than he used to solder with!)

Did anyone catch the part where he heated the bottom of the pipe until the solder boiled?

Very entertaining. He is definitely a New Yorkah with that accent. Go big Tony. Let me ask the obvious; How the hell does he get under a kitchen sink?? He couldn't do a ground rough in S. FL in the summer, even with me digging the trench. How would he bend over to lay the pipe in the ditch?
