They come pre-oxidized? Damn that’s a real Time Saver
Don’t they all come pre-oxidized? That’s why you have to use the wire brush to scrape it off before soldering.
Pre seasoned
So, fun fact. This is apparently called “Patina.” It’s the same thing that’s on the statue of liberty, and funner fact, it actually makes it stronger!
Mess-O-Potamias Best…
The Daily Show!
The most trusted brand in copper!
Surely he has to be the oldest memed real person
That’s it! I need to invent writing.
Looks like these are already expired.
only MMLII years past the expiration, what could be the problem?
These look like the workings of Obvious Plant

I don’t know what your problem is. You need to sand those fittings bright and shiny before you solder them anyway…
We had a minor freeze last year. I went to Home Depot and the last piece of pipe insulation was very mangled and the adhesive was falling off. I asked the clerk if they would discount it for me since all I needed was about 1 ft but would buy the damaged parts at a discount.
They got a supervisor who argued with me that “it’s suppose to be like that”. Like brother I’m trying to help y’all get this damaged product off the shelf. I’ll happily pay full price for undamaged product. We argued for about 5 minutes before he went to the back and brought me a piece from a brand new box.
Not ideal, but you should ALWAYS sand down the area to be soldered anyway, so go ahead do the whole part.
lol got me there for a second
Man, what a legacy this man has. In th Lemmy app I use, the top of the was cut off in the thumbnail and so all I saw were the fittings and I was like man Ea Nasir, you still haven’t improved your supply? And then I opened the image and yep he’s at it again.
What’s the issue here? That’s just a protective coating to keep the high-quality copper underneath safe during shipping and handling.
