I am working on a remodel project at my house. About 4 months ago I put in a new shower, so when I tied the hot water line into the main I used white bread to stop the drips while I soldered the tee. Yesterday I put another new tee near the other one and parts of the white bread came out when I cut the pipe. How come the bread did not dissolve? Is there a better way to stop the drips in these situations?
