Oh, and I got dibs saying you cap that pipe on both ends & pressurize it. It leaks somewhere. Rule #1 to laying HMT birdshield flux core welds. There is no such thing as perfectly sealed...

Not that I care what you do tho.

I agree. Seems that many do things like this on purpose.

Re: how to fill a gap, hmt style

I'm all about HMT skills, but man that's ultra HMT

I usually take a small hammer and curl a lip in one side of the pipe, weld it to the smaller diameter pipe, then repeat the curl and weld around the rest. Usually works out pretty well, and looks pretty decent when it's finished.
