HI mate, congrats on finding this forum, loads of great advise on here.

Your fittings should come with olive's, or are you using some old ones?

copper olives are better than brass ones as the 'mould' to the pipe better

The nylon ones are the best, roll out the yarn, measure its length and that is how long a peice of string is.

........Well the ones you get at Dominoes certainly seem rubbery.
