I found that cherry red was too hot but a dull glow was just right.

A dull glow is still *much* hotter than necessary.

Maybe valvejob thinks the op is trying to weld the pipes together?

Cherry red is far beyond what you need

Hey, whatever works! lol

I'm going to go to the store tomorrow and get some better solder and
flux. Then I'm going to completely cut out the section that I've done
since the workmanship is so shoddy it will probably fail in the near
future. I might get a few extra parts to practice on, but I'm fairly
confident that I'll have rather different results with solder and flux
that is better suited to the task.

Thanks!
