Hi,
When soldering after putting a thin layer of flux on pipe and then pushing into fitting with a twist do you guys wipe the excess flux off with a damp cloth or not. I find the solder flows into the joint better with some flux on the edge of the joint. If I wipe the joint prior to using the torch I sometimes find that I can get the joint hot enough but the solder doesn't flow into the joint easily it sort of conjeeals on the edge. Any thoughts on this?
