How to Solder different sized Copper pipes together-making an art peice?
littlelady asked:
I’d like to make this statue out of copper pipes. I have one big pipe, and then a bunch of soft copper tubes used for plumbing. I have a soldering iron, and solder-I have been trying to attach some of the softer tubes to the larger one, but the solder snaps right off… with little effort..or slides right off before it cools-im having trouble getting it to stick to the copper? Any suggestions?? thank you!
