HIGH SCHOOLER SOLDERS COPPER PIPE FIRST TIME...PERFECT??

What happens here

Apply a thin, even coat of flux to both the cleaned exterior of the copper pipe and the interior of the copper fitting. Ensure the entire surface to be joined is covered. Avoid applying excessive flux, as it can cause problems during soldering. After applying, ensure the pipe and fitting are properly seated together.

Goal: Prepare the joint for soldering by applying flux and assembling the components.
