Brilliant no nonsense, straight to the point videos! If poss could you do one on how to resolder a leaking joint without disassembly (I know it’s not recommended, but often it’s impossible to disassemble one joint without affecting other joints).

Thanks mate.
Very helpful and informative.

Thanks mate, this is just what I needed 👍

What would you do differently if you only needed to take one piece off from the joint?

[hazmat]

Can you re use the fittings with extra solder. like an end feed?

[robemenecker]

Just to make sure I understood the video, when you soldered the straight fitting on, you only soldered one end, and the other end was already soldered to the smaller stub pipe, correct? I ask because I need to unsolder one side of an elbow and keep the other side soldered nicely and not coming apart.

1 question. Do you not need to add any solder when you reconnect the straight piece of copper or are you just reheating the solder that was there already? Thanks for the video!!

Ah, my pipe is in the wall and had water in it. I've turned off the water, but it keeps running. Someone told me to stick a bit of bread in the pipe. It will stop the water and flush out when the water is on.

No body seams to want to demonstrate on anything but half inch. Half inch doesn't take much. Lets see the in the wall technique.
