Unbelieveable!! This guy hasn't got a clue! 1.Flux should be applied 'sparingly' not 'slathered' on! 2.The reel was 'solder' not a 'soldering iron' 3.That particular solder was not lead free and should not be used on potable water - bit worrying that a tap connector was being jointed!! 4.That was a 'yorkshire' fitting, so did not even require solder to be added - it already contains solder that just need to be melted!!! 5.NO WHERE NEAR HOT ENOUGH! As could be seen from blobs of solder on the surface. 6.Joint should be made hot then torch removed and the heat of the fitting should melt the solder and poull it into joint. This guy was just melting solder directly with heat from torch onto a cold pipe! Ignore this video - look up soldering elsewhere - much better examples!

good god, thats the worst sweating off I've ever seen!! Flux is to prevent oxidisation of the copper and " soldering iron (lol) " is a metal alloy of lead/tin and should not be used for connections to drinking water.Unlike the tap connector in this video, also the pipe should be heated a lot hotter than shown, also all flux residue must be removed as this is corrosive and will cause pinhole leaks in years to come ( MUST TRY HARDER, SHAMEFUL)

This is really poor soldering. You need to get that pipe and fitting much hotter before applying the solder. Test it first to see if is hot enough - if the solder doesnt run it isnt hot enough.(by the way the solder you are holding is just solder not a soldering iron which is actually a tool used or applyinhg heat when soldering electical/electronic connections). Also why are yiu using a 'yorkshire' or integral solder fitting? its already got solder in it.
