No? Not at all? In that case, if you heat up a test join and
continually move it as the solder solidifies, the joint strength
won't be compromised - is that what you're saying?

No, of course not. Did you forgot the /pedant mode/ warning?

Just for you...

Solder for capillary fittings is tin-rich and does not have a
*a wide* pasty phase.

Thank you. So you appreciate why handling/wiping a hot solder
fiting is not recommended. You can do it, I can do it - but
some grunt somewhere could well bog it up unless ordered not
to touch it when warm (on pain of having the re-heated join
inserted somewhere!).
