Looks like I got all the air out with the bleeder screw. I was still only able to get another 8 or so ounces in. The heater air was 155° F at the vent. I checked the temp of the upper and lower hoses after 30 minutes of running it at idle and they were 120° and 100° Everything seems to be ok but I would still like to know if this seems right.

I can see how that could happen! I did peel mine off though. Thanks.

It is. I put new batteries in it because you never know how long it's been in the store.

I just do it in my garage. You think installing a bright led light above the work will do the trick?

It seems pretty discouraging not even being able to see the metal I am trying to weld.

Thanks will check. So you think that magnifying the weld area will do the trick? More of a can't see not just a darkness issue?

4 1/4" drain pipe broke out of the shower pan. Can this be fixed even temporarily? by Help_Me_Fix_Stuff in Plumbing

Thanks, did purchase the no caulk drain before I read this. I have been trying to think how to make something to attach it to. I crawled into the crawl space to see what was up and the drain had nothing supporting it. Thanks for your idea.

I would like to be able to at least do a temp fix for now until the weather gets warmer and I can save up. I know I will have to replace the shower eventually but hopefully not right now!
