If your worried about corrosion then go to a heating and cooling supplier. Look for something like this

It will already have an applicator in the cap. And that is enough to last you years.

I was always under the impression that soapy water affects the gas.
If it does not thats great alot cheaper.
Thanks

Not sure I follow what you're saying, you're using the solution to check around gas connections for leaks, right? I use a small brush, like an acid brush to apply.

I get what your saying, but I heard it was not good to use dish sopa. But if you have used it and the weld was not affected then I will give it a try.

The leak detector solution we use at work is the name-brand Swagelok Snoop, because that's what a major client specifies, and it works great. For a dirt-cheap home-made alternative, use one gallon distilled water, one tablespoon plain green dish detergent (like Polmolive), and one teaspoon Glycerin (available at better pharmacies).

If you use a quart of distilled water, this is awesome bubble solution for your kids.

Yea, we have the Swagelok at work also...Swagelok = $$$ but also quality, some years back I got to fly out of Clearwater on Swagelok's jet with a group to tour their facilities, great experience.

Thanks. Any idea what the Glycerin does? I`ll Google just to know .

[Otto Nobedder]

The glycerin provides a super-thin film of oil over the bubbles to slow drying, so they are apparent before they burst. This same property makes it a great addition to a child's bubble mix.

Swagelok has a great sense of humor as a company. To order a bulk pack of their trolls of Teflon tape, for example, it shows up on the order form as "Strip, T's". Their anaerobic Teflon pipe dope is "SWAK".

Love it.

I've noticed that my tips burn up and the porosity is horrible
