End feed fitting slightly over heated

[Riley26]

If soldering an end feed tee and by the time you get to the last leg of the tee the fitting is slightly over heating is it ok to paint the leg of the tee in flux so solder will run again?

Yes should be fine.. Just check that the solder runs ok

Thanks think it happen as had the heat on too long the solder looks to have run perfectly after I painted the fitting with flux and re-applied solder

 

[Riley26]

was just abit worried if solder will of still ran to the back of the fitting

I coat the solder in flux and offer up to the joint, the flux should still be contained within the fitting so the solder should run in, flux on the solder just gives it a start.
