I have a1.5″ vertical section of copper pipe leaking between two 90 degree elbows. Can those connections to the elbows be heated and the solder removed, the pipe cleaned, and a new section of pipe soldered to the same elbow connections?

I look forward to your response so I can get the water back on.

It broke just above the nosepiece. What watt iron should I use? These are about 3 yrs-old, from Sears, of the “Sophia Loren” line.
I’ve soldered wires/pc boards in the past. Too bad there’s not a gold colored solder! Or is there…?
The first thing I did was take them back to Sears, to have the lense put back in; the gal spun on her heel when she saw the frame was broke, shook her head, said, “no, I can’t fix this.” After 3 yrs, I wouldn’t even ask them to replace it. They were $300, a 2-for-1deal, purchased with a tax refund (major splurge). I’m still using the sunglasses. I’m beyond broke, a new pair is outta’ the question (Medical won’t pay for nice specs like these). I believe I’ll take this thing to a jeweler!

I have my students build a blinky robot with resisitors, transistors, capacitors and LEDs in my electronics class. After they build the project, sometimes they dont work properly. I wish i knew how to use a multimeter to troubleshoot their projects and identify which parts are damaged or defective. Any ideas?
