Bob,
You mentioned "solder" in your mail relating to removal of rusted valve.
What type of solder is used?
Maybe I am being totally unrealistic - but I thought that such material coming into contact with
honey (low pH) is no longer allowed.
Extractors etc. that I have come into contact with are stainless steel, welded under argon - no
solder anywhere!
Enlighten me with your experiences!
Peter
PS. We are talking about only using stainless steel wire for foundation fixing in the future +
removing the possibility of using paradiclorobenzene for treating wax moth in stored supers.
