That's amazing! I never knew 2 quick dabs of solder would completely flow around the pipe and fitting for a completely sealed joint. I'll give that a try. Good job! π
The number one video to watch I am now ready to start learning to solder going out and buying all the kid after watching this particular YouTube video well done mate absolutely in-depth
The flux is not to help the solder flow in. It's to prevent oxidation, which prevents the solder adhering to the pipe and fitting. Capillary attraction is how the solder flows when heated to a fluid state. 79 year old plumber just retired this year.
I've been waiting nearly six months for the plumber to turn up, so now I find myself at the mercy of youtube. Found this/you and I'm already to put on my big boy pants. I hate plumbing, always avoided it, but now I'm all out of choices π€¦πΌββοΈ
