Hi all
Just tried my very first soldering attempt on 15mm copper pipe using solder-ring fittings.
How long is it SUPPOSED to take before the silver ring appears around the joint. I was there with my blowtorch for ages (good few minutes)before it happened - even had smoke coming out of the end of the pipe by the end of it.
I cleaned all ends, used flux and heated the middle of the "elbow" solder ring joint.
Cheers all
