What is the sch? This is my game plan, I'm guessing it's 160 put a good land on the pipe , good tacks ones that will match the root when your done. After you lay the root in ,grind it clean then put the hot pass in with a small weave if any. Then fill up the joint with clean stringers , I put the cover on with 3 stringers. Then it's miller time!! Good luck man i hope it goes good for ya!!! p.s. make sure you start the rod clean every time and that test i use 3/32 5p and 7018 rod all the way out. Good luck!!!!!
