Let me start by saying I've found plenty of websites with detailed steps and even a video or two on how to properly solder copper pipes.
However, I didn't find one that addressed sweating multiple connections. For example, I tried soldering a T-fitting the other day and didn't know if I should solder all three joints at once or should I do one joint, let it cool, clean the next joint, add flux and reheat with my propane torch?
If I don't do all 3 ends of the T-fitting at once, won't they come undone when I reheat the fitting? I tired doing all three in a row, but ended up burning off all the flux about time I got to the 3rd connection. Any help would be appreciated.
