Have two questions relating to sweating & flux.
1) Have read in numerous posts on various boards about refluxing a joint while sweating a joint. Am I to take it that flux can be added to a joint while sweating it? Is this is in fact an accepted procedure?
2) Have also read that if joint has leak that you can reheat joint and apply flux to hole and re-solder. It is rare when I have a leak, but have always just replaced fitting and done over. Again, is this an accepted procedure?
Thanks,
Matt
