Never use flux inside the join the excess will will form corrosion

The word is SOLDER as in SOLD - ER not SODDER!

This guy would be good if you want a sprinkler at every joint. What a crappy risky way to solder.. People should use this as a example on how Not to solder a fitting!

To the tube AND fitting!? NOOOO! you apply it ONLY to the tube!! This is a fucking shocking video! you should be ashamed mate.

Yeah, way too much solder... rule of thumb, 1/2" pipe, 1/2" of solder, 3/4" pipe, 3/4" solder... or use too much and let it drip on your boots. Could ya get that torch any closer to the pipe?
