Prepare for Safety and Cleanliness

What happens here

Don a pair of jersey gloves to protect hands from heat and prevent transferring oils from skin to the copper pipes. Copper pipes should be perfectly clean for successful soldering. Oils from fingers can contaminate the surface and prevent the solder from adhering properly. The instructor stresses the importance of wearing safety glasses for eye protection before starting any torch work.

Goal: Ensure personal safety and prepare copper surfaces for optimal solder adhesion.
