[SEL] Soldering galvanized question

[Curt]

Thanks to all who have given advice of the tinning and soldering of 
galvanized. It seems finding the Bakers/Ruby/killed flux will be easier 
to find than the bucket itself! Have found lots of 10 quart buckets but 
the size I am after, a 14 quart, is proving difficult to find in town. 
Missy is on a mission to find a large bucket over the weekend. Oh Arnie, 
she likes your suggestion of fitting the drain pipe securely enough that 
it will survive a good whomp. It's what she is going to whomp with it 
that has me concerned ;-)
