RE: [TCML] Joining two 25 foot rolls of copper tubing

["Godfrey Loudner" <ggreen@xxxxxxxx>]

It was the flexibility I was concerned with if I tried to unroll the second
roll into a spiral shape around the first roll. I thought that I would have
great difficulty with bending the tubing as I neared the center of the
second roll. Okay, Thanks.

I've done it twice; once with a brass bolt that fit snugly inside, and once
with a piece of solid copper wire that fit snugly inside. I used flux, hit
it with silver solder then quickly wiped the joints with a rag. Both times,
the result was smooth, and had a slight neck - not buldge - due to the way a
tubing cutter works. The first time I managed to continue threading the
tubing through the primary support holes, so no real problem with
flexibility.
