HIGH SCHOOLER SOLDERS COPPER PIPE FIRST TIME...PERFECT??
What happens here
After the demonstration, Damion attempts to solder his first joint. He cleans the pipe and fitting, applies flux, and secures it in the vice. He then heats the joint and applies solder, successfully drawing it into the joint. The instructor reviews the joint, noting that while there's good solder penetration, some excess has accumulated on the outside, indicating a learning opportunity.
Goal: Successfully solder a copper pipe joint and identify areas for improvement.
