Hi Everyone - I'm a very green do it yourselfer with some questions.
I just finished installing a new shower and I was curious about the quality of my soldered joints.
Is there a way to tell whether or not a joint is soldered 'correctly' ? I don't have any leaks and some of my joints look great (there's a thin, not bubbly thick)bead of solder all the way around the pipe)
The ones that scare me have the solder bubbled up and 'chunky' around the edges. It looks like it penetrated more on one side than the other - but like I said, no leaks - I cleaned the pipes very well and used plenty of flux.
Any advice?
Thank You!
