Default Soldering part two & tiling question.

I've had a bit more practise at this soldering malarky. Ok on all the
easy bits like the cleaning the parts, fluxing etc. but can't get the
hang of how quick or long to heat the bits and when/where to apply the
solder?
Any pointers would be appreciated.

From what I've done I think the joints are ok just not very nice
looking on the whole.
Think the crappy burner might not be helping (Screwfixes cheapest one
with the top/burner and throwaway cannister arrangement). Seems ok but
not sure if it's a good enough flame.

I've connected the contraption I made up at random to a water supply
and to my dismay it didn't leak at all...

Back at the bathroom tiling I've reached the doorway but can't
remember where the door surround trim was having removed it all months
ago. Does it go over the frame onto the wall or stop at the edge of
the frame or is it personal choice. ie. I don't want to cut the tiles
too long/short.
