I did three practice joints. Two were good. Fillet all around. One sucked. Blobs of solder, a real mess. Not hot enough.

My intention is to work with the heat etc. so I can see what happens INSIDE based on what I do outside. I am not going to use nitrogen flowing though the coil so there may be flaking. I want to know...

Temporarily, I charged it again and I'm hoping it will get me to the Fall. Last charge lasted only 3 months. That would mean this one will get me to mid October. Got my R22 coming. This is a band-aid...

Ideally, they are brazed joints. The connection I need to make is on the low/liquid side. Higher silver content means a harder joint. I have never brazed before, but the recommendation that nitrogen...
