Hello. While in the middle of a small plumbing change job in my house, feelling pretty good about my soldering skills, I decided just for fun to tear apart a joint I had just made to see if it was as good inside as it looked outside. Well, as you can see on the attached picture, I found some pretty big voids in the fitting, and I guess that this is indicative of a problem with my technique. Any clues as to what the problem may be? Also, if I assume that all of the joints I've been doing for many years were done the same way, with the same equipment, and with the same materials, then does it mean that I've got to start opening up walls to redo the joints? Thanks for any thoughts.
