That's an old plumber's trick and works. Mostly I like doing wood construction.

Long time ago I put a 5 foot sliding glass door in the master bedroom.

The door had already been delivered, but when my wife got home and saw a big hole in the side of the house, she told me she was going to the theater to watch a movie. <g>

I had a handyman do exactly that to fix a copper line. Ended up having to hire another plumber to clear the mixet valve that the first guy clogged up with the bread trick.

The second plumber told me that he has to clean blockages at least three times a year from homeowners using bread to soak up the drip before they quickly solder. Often times, they fail to clean the line well enough afterwards and a small piece of bread ends up shooting distally into the plumbing, usually clogging a shower/tub valve.
