It scares some people to sweat copper. Working with the old copper is the worst, Got to get it clean.

The main thing with soldering copper pipes is to make sure that it is clean, then clean it again and again. Did I mention that it needs to be clean????

The cleaner the better. Big blob is a waste of solder, and doesn't look professional.
