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

What happens here

For the second joint, Damion practices soldering a different configuration (a 3/4-inch female adapter to a 1/2-inch copper pipe). The instructor advises him to focus on consistent heating and applying solder to the side opposite the flame. They also emphasize using an inspection mirror to check the back of the joint, which is often difficult to see directly.

Goal: Improve soldering technique on a different joint type and ensure complete solder flow.
