 @134318c2 Even *considering* this makes you braver than I am. Ergo, I have no advice worth giving (other than, I guess, keep a first aid kit handy in case something goes screwy, and a fire extinguisher in case it goes *really* screwy) but I wish you the best of luck.

Ok I tried not to but I can't stand it I have to ask. How do you imagine I might end up needing a fire extinguisher when I'm fixing a sodden drain pipe???

I mean... do I need to use a torch and do heatshrink tubing over the whole assembly or something?

 @134318c2 @99419ca9 Water leaking out of badly sealed threads into the bucket of magnesium powder under the sink is the first scenario that comes to mind.
