049: How to Fix Copper Pinhole Leaks and Baseboard Molding Tips
b'
Learning how to fix copper pinhole leaks can save you thousands of dollars.

\\nYep, I\\u2019m talking from experience. I\\u2019ve experienced 4 different copper pinhole leaks in our home and have learned that it\\u2019s good to know about soldering and one little product called Fix-It Stick by Oatey.
\\n\\xa0
\\nThe Fix-It Stick is an epoxy putty that you can use to temporarily seal copper pinhole leaks. It creates a watertight seal. All you have to do is mix it then shape it around the copper pipe leak. This in turn allows you to permanently fix the pipe by soldering in a new piece or call a plumber.\\xa0

\\nDefinitely have a Fix-It Stick in your tool box!!! You never know when you copper pipes will leak or spring a pinhole. It costs $5-$10 and can be found at home stores or bought on Amazon.

\\nToday\\u2019s Quick Tip is about baseboard molding. If you want a professional looking DIY job you need to learn how to cope out corners. Typically corners meet at 45 degree angles. Instead of making both corners 45 degrees you should cope one corner and make the other 90 degrees. Yes, this is hard to explain verbally or in written form and that\\u2019s why I recommend you watch these videos
