This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.
Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.
If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

Notes -
Clean the pipe thoroughly, get it hotter than you might think is about all I've got.
Alternately, if it's just a couple of joints and you are lazy, the sharkbite fittings are about as lazy as it gets, and work fine on copper and pex, or combinations thereof. Plumbers don't like them because they cost $5 per joint, but it might be worth it. (expecially if the place you are soldering has any access issues at all)
