I've been soldering my entire life. The brits really do take it to a whole other level though. There's such an emphasis there on limiting allowable tolerances and also providing the tradesman time to do the job correctly. In the states expediency is common. Wish the trade was more respected here.
@@kyleCAfire i think because majority of jobs there are slate or tile and life expectancy is at least 50 years,not like here shingles on 95% houses and soldering is frequently overkill
This setup with a titanium coated head instead of copper is much much better. We use it for gutters and it takes it to the next level. The tin is flowding 25 mm between the zinc. Copper head is old generation
compared to professional soldering on youtube(s), looks like this video is demonstrating almost substandard soldering. a) never heard of "reinforced soldering". ever hear of "ribbed edges" those are reinforced by means of bending. b) the flux is gel or liquid not solid. you are using weird material. c) you said stripping zinc? They do not. it is flux that takes care of oxide and seal the joint. d) not educate how much heat in the iron is necessary to heat the metal-flux (not the solder)
