i realy need your help, what am i doing wrong, i clean the pipe i clean the fittings i apply flux then i solder using solder with lead in, i heat the pipe but the solder never stays on the copper and it never sucks into the joint what am i doing wrong mate
@Viking9280 First make sure your using the right flux. The brand I use is called no corrored. Solder you don't want to use solder with lead in it, because then you would get lead into your drinking water (NOT GOOD) Use lead free solder. Did you put the flux on the fitting and the pipe? If not you need to do that. You may need to turn the heat up or hold the touch in one spot a little longer. I hop this help my friend.
