Can't believe I watched the whole video! But woke up a couple hours before my alarm so what the hey.

FYI Goo Gone is a marvelous product designed specifically to remove all kinds of tape goo etc. Citrus based and works much faster than using a penetrating lube like WD40, smells better too.

Marcio,

Do you mean capacity/size or thickness of metal?

We carried Oscars a few years back, and not to bash any product, but I remember being able to use my finger to push in the copper boiler. I can not do this on the Cuadra that we sell today.

I mean appearance, position of the HX etc. But good to know the copper is thicker, indeed the Oscar boiler is a little bit easy to bend... The two I restored was not finger easy, but any extra force to remove a connection and one can bend the boiler.

Márcio.
