Hi all, this is my first post here about my 1st job! I'm soon to be replacing a bathroom bit by bit starting the furthest appliance away and working my way back to the cistern. To do this I'm having to connect the new pipework to the existing stuff as I go along until it ends up all nice new cooper. My question is this, the existing pipework is all painted. How do I go about soldering the new pipwork to this. I would say that I would just clean of the end of the old pipework from all the paint with some wire wool. But just wanted to check if this is the case or if there is an easier way. (They didn't teach us this at college!) Thanks guys!
