Hello:

So, I am now knee deep in bathroom reno.

I was soldering up a female adapter and noticed that it looks like some of the tinning flux pushed its way into the fitting and got on the threads.

Is this fine to use?

Well … decided to re-do it for $4.50. Did it in a vertical position (like I should have last time) … not the prettiest joint in the world but should work.
