Chat with a plumber in Tucson changed how I think about pipe threading
Was at a hardware store grabbing fittings and this older plumber watched me pick up a die set. He goes 'you're gonna fight that thing for 20 minutes before you get one clean thread.' I laughed but he was right. He showed me this trick with cutting oil and backing off every quarter turn. Took my threading time from 10 minutes to under 3. Why do trade guys hold onto stuff like that? Anyone else run into a random pro who gave you a game-changer tip?

Trade secrets always come out when someone's actually paying attention.
