As my soldering gets better and better, I am now at the stage of measuring off my solder to get the best, most pretty joints. I mark pencil lines on the solder to guide me.
For 1/2" pipe I use 1/2" of solder.
For 3/4" pipes I use 3/4" of solder.
On 1/2" brass fittings I can almost make the joints invisible, which is my utlimate aim.
Does this sound right? And could I use even less to get the optimal joint?
I do have too much time on my hands.
