Opti-Visor with a #5 lens is your friend.

As far as my experience with the plumber / fitter feud, it was explained to me thusly, "for a plumber to become a fitter one needs only to pass a test, for a fitter to become a plumber one must serve an apprenticeship" I invested a bit over thirty years in the industry. Many of the later...

Dave Person is the real deal, you'll be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable guy that is so willing to share what he knows, this forum and those that frequent it are fortunate to have him.
