tip: if you make a mess and get it all over joint you can hammer the solder down so it is thin makes allot easier to make it net. p.s I'm a beginner

@TheMrSchmoodle Hi there. Just a quick pointer. If you have a blob on the pipe, heat it up with your torch and quickly brush it off with a fluxed brush. It will look lovely! Good luck. Regards PP

Looks simple just one question -did that solder the other pipe as well or do you need to put solder on the other side of fitting?

Good vid, as are all Plumber Parts vids so far... Only one thing though, I'd recommend waiting til the solder had formed fully before applying a damp cloth. Give it atleast 30 seconds after applying the solder before cleaning with the cloth.

The best "how to" I've seen.......much better than the US ones where they struggle to say solder!
