When working on pipes, you may have to a bit of soldering. Soldering is fairly straightforward. Yet, there is a common mistake that most people are making. Many people heat the solder itself instead of the pipe. In reality, the piping should be heated instead. Once the pipe reaches a certain threshold, the pipe will naturally start absorbing the solder. This is the correct way to solder a pipe. Just make sure to not overheat the pipe. Overheating the pipe can cause the pipe to turn back and damage the pipe. This can be an expensive and time-consuming repair. Only heat the pipe as long as you need. Once you see the soldering start to be absorbed, you have heated the pipe enough.
