Quickest way is redo them after cutting the joint. Sorry to say it but

faucet/taps.


I know it was poor workmanship. I'm a rookie when it comes to soldering joints
and these were in the crawl space under the house. Not enough headroom to kneel
and my arms weren't quite long enough to lay supine and still reach comfortably.
I consider myself fortunate I didn't catch anything on fire.
