The speed doesn't much matter.


It does if you take so long all the flux is gone, and the pipe has
started oxidizing in the air.



Im even more convinced this is the crux of lobsters problem
1-1/2 minutes is far to long 15-20 seconds should be long enough even
with a small blowlamp on 15mm
as you have said a video would be a good idea

of course it could be the solder being used
I have never used lead free so don't know if this is more difficult
to use
