Default Soldering problems
I have a new butane/propane torch with a fine flame. I cant use it with solder ring fittings because no matter what I try the solder doesnt appear at the joint. Can anybody help?

It appears to me the torch you are using is not producing enough heat to melt the solder.
Remember copper is a very good conductor of heat. Get a bigger torch.

I bought the rothenberger quick fire and works really well the flame almost wraps around the fitting thus heating all the way round and getting even soldering.

Monument do a good piezo burner head that will fit most Propane / MAPP cylinders.
