One of the parents of a kid on a soccer team my son was coaching last
year is a plumbing manager at HD. I was half-seriously joking that
he should hire me part time, based on two college summers in the 60s
working as a plumber's apprentice. He started talking about parts
and tools I had never heard of. I had to spend some time in the
store studying the stuff just to catch up. The next time I had a
copper pipe pinhole leak, I fixed it with just a utility knife and a
pipe cutter to fit in a sharktooth patch.


I'd probably use a blob of hardening gas-tank repair.

I hope the jerk who plumbed our house in ~1952 is turning on a spit in
hell.
