Default Having trouble soldering copper pipe

Wait till you try it with a nice acetylene/air turbo torch, with the BIG tip
on it. Takes about 5 seconds to heat up a 3/4 pipe joint to soldering temp,
in 30 seconds the pipe melt!

I got a new mapp gas torch and it made a huge difference, only about
30 seconds to heat the joint sufficiently and the solder would wick
right in.
