Weird question I guess, but I’m second guessing my handiwork.
I’m a DIYer, watched a bunch of youtube. For two separate projects I soldered 16 joints and 6 joints. (1/2” and 3/4” copper) For both when I turned the water on nothing leaked… so quite obviously I have done something wrong.
So my question is: If it’s holding now, when is it going to fail on me?! Thanks!!
I reemed, and wire brushed all joints both inside and out, thin layer of flux on pipe and fitting and then heated from the bottom. Then applied 1/2” or 3/4” of solder (depending on joint size) - basically until I saw a drop at the bottom of the joint. Then waited a few minutes and wiped them down and inspected to see if I could see a little solder in the joint all the way around.
