solder snots on pipe

[Mgrant]

Bar looking unsightly are solder snots ruining down the pipe from the above fitting a problem. Guy I work with does this. Looks bad but is on a first fix so underfloor pipework that will never be seen.

Not a problem but don't learn his bad habits

Thanks its the fittings were the joint is horizontal he is feeding the solder in to ends up all down the pipe with no attempt to brush off.etc

Probably loading the fittings a bit if they're not going to be accessible

Adding more solder to hopefully avoid a leak?

Dab it on at the back, wipe of any runs with yer finger, it doesn't hurt.

That's right, but you must do it slowly.

And if you dip your finger in flux first it'll run properly...
