Default well it works, i wont deny that.

but from reading the forum i've learned a couple things.

people have tried to acquire a bi-pipe from apr before they coat it black (i don't know what type of coating it is) so they can polish it. but apr wont sell the pipe uncoated because the coating is their solution to the pin hole leaks that was plaguing some of their customers.

i dont feel comfortable with that kind of solution.

(and if im wrong , someone please correct me)
