Which solder paste for water copper pipe?

May 18, 2006 2 Replies

I'm repiping my whole house with water copper pipes. There are few kinds of solder paste including oil and water base at the local hardware supply store. Any difference between oil or water base and so which is the right one for lead free solder?

You should match the paste to the solder you are using. In fact, I always purchase only that solder that actually comes with a tin of flux paste.
