Wow. Didn't scratch the pipes with sandpaper or emery cloth, no flux used, burnt the shit out of the copper tubing... TOTAL AMATEURS! Take this garbage off the Internet! BAD PRACTICE!
@walterbrunswick Hi...remove your comment off the internet as you don't know what you are talking about. Yeah they were a lil messy, but that is BRAZING! This is not sweating!
@Super73VW I realize it is not sweating! We did brazing in our HVAC intro classes, and yes you are still supposed to scratch up the surface of the pipes to create more surface friction. Flux is optional. Regardless I may have been a little harsh with my words, I apologize.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing your brazing technique!

shoulda hit the torch at the base of the swage, capp action would have brought the braze down the joint

They should have cooled the pipe after expanding this would have removed the copper oxide but it is mostly burnt off when re-heated
No flux is required when brazing copper to copper with silfos
Note: this is not lead tin soldering and this is her first time brazing
