At the time of the Roman Empire, the Romans used pipes made of lead, because it is a cheap metal that is easily worked into pipes, and which unlike iron doesn't rust.

What is plumbers goop?

Plumber's Goop

This is my favorite, permanent glue. When a mineral specimen is to be repaired or mounted permanently, this is the perfect adhesive. It can be diluted/thinned, it is colorless, it does not decompose or turn color with age, the smallest amount will hold a great deal of weight, it is "slightly flexible" when dry, it is reversible in most cases, withstands occasional heat of up to 150° F., is waterproof, resistant to dilute acids and it can be rejuvenated when it thickens in its container. The only negative is its Set Up Time: 30-60 minutes. Its Complete Cure Time: 24-72 hours, dependent upon humidity and temperature. It far out-shadows epoxy and Super-Glue adhesives.

How do you become an plumber?

It depends on what type of a plumber you want to become. To work on prevailing wage projects you need to go through an approved apprenticeship program. The two major organizations that offer them are the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters (union) and the Associated Builders and Contractors ( Merit Shop). I personally went to the unions school but now work for merit shops cause you get alot more of your money. The union deducts alot for their benefits program. The union is alot larger though. If you want to become a service n repair or residential plumber just look for ads in the paper or craigslist. Those jobs are so easy even the most feebleminded man can make it there for years. Although you will only make around 20-30 dollars an hour.
