Hi all. I screwed up and need to redo a couple joints I sweat last night. I was planning to cut them away and start over but some people on the site say you can just heat up the joint, pull it apart, flux it up again, and redo it.
The problem I have is that when I pull them apart there's solder on both pipe ends and inside the joint. I have a very hard time putting them back together. Do I need to remove the solder from the pipes first? Can that even be done?
Also, if I do get them back together, do I need to feed more solder in there or will the process of heating them back up again seal the joint?
Thanks all!
