Hi, I just got a temp. job ironing bedding, curtains and stuff like that. I have a little knowledge on this, but I need to know how to deal with different fabrics such as silk. What are mandatory things I should know so I do this correctly? Any help or advice about ironing would be great.
Copper pipe was used a lot in drainage in the past. It still meets todays codes also. PVC pipe is cheaper thats why it is used today. Depending where the leak is you can do a quick fix with epoxy. You will need to use a wire brush to clean the area where the epoxy will be. Also make sure and dry the area with a rag before the epoxy is applied. You can get this at any lumber yard.
look at the settings of the iron. read the labels on the clothing. use steam on cotton only. starch on the inside only of cotton
Set your heat on the iron, to the type of fabric you are ironing.
cool iron for silks, test on an unseen part before ironing Cotton , use the high temp, but be careful u do not scorch the fabrics, To day, most fabrics do not need ironing. Rayon and dacron will burn . When irons men's shirts iron the collar first then the sleeves and continue On the inner facing on the button area, iron neatly so the button area do not pucker up, Ironing takes time and experience, good luck.
The point from which you see the water dripping is likely not the source of the leak. Sounds like your describing a soil drain pipe since no supply line would be four inches in diamater. The pipe is probably cast iron. The leak source may be a joint. If so, you can purchase packing to stuff in the joint by use of a hammer and chisel.
