Great video Tom I had this exact problem recently. And I wondered what you real plumbers did in such situations. I cut out my leaking tee (3” either side with a pipeslice) and put in another one using two straight couplers. Doesn’t look that pretty but it doesn’t leak now :) Btw - I always dry pressure test my plumbing. I usually don’t have leaks but it’s saved me several times.
Blow out the water with compressed air. You can cut out the joint, make it again ( right this time) and reinstall with compression fittings.(am I wrong?)
no. flux is very important in soldering, it stops oxidization taking place, when ever you heat things up they oxidize rapidly and the solder will not run,
Seems that the opposite joint might now be compromised due to some much applied heat?!
Thank you Sir.😊

Would it work without fluxing: heat up old joint -> take apart -> heat up -> put back ? Thanks.

Great video. Can you please put back the lead to copper joining video.
Don't you need to apply new solder to the joint after you brushed old solder ? Thanks
no its not necessary, the solder is already there , It won't do any harm to add more, but why waste it,
@@TheTomplum Thanks
cool video
Tinning flux.
