>looks over actual joint
Copper pipe isn't structural you fucking dingus. Not only that but that shit will turn green in a bathroom in a week and leave a disgusting bunch of oxidation gunk on anything you put on there. Copper is probably the absolute worst material you could have chosen for this project.

This.
Clearly didn't or you would see the buff marks on the pipe beyond the joint. He said he wanted it to 'look pretty' not actually be a good joint.
Should sandpaper everything so it's consistent, solder it properly, sand it all clean so the joints look clean, the clear coat it so you don't have to worry about it oxidizing later.
It will still look like shit though even after all that work.

its a slow board, but whatever that thing you made is will drive them into a collective autistic rage

>Did you use pipe cleaners. I.e. wire brushes to clean the insides ?
Sandpaper, 500 grit. Outside of pipe, and I skipped fittings (because they looked clean to me, but there apparently were not clean at all).
On outdoor hose stopcock valve I cleaned everything good, inside and out with 500 grip paper.
(too cheap for wire brushes).
>? What kind of torch? MAAP?
1.5 kW butane (on those 200 mg canisters). Like all plumbers here use.
Don't get me wrong, this shit can heat 10 mm copper for AC red hot. It will take forever (compared to giant ass propane torch older plumbers here have that hooks up to a 5 liter cylinder), but it is possible.
>the oils from your finger tips can cause problems with soldering.
Again, on stopcock I wiped everything with booze, but now it is corona-achoo, and booze is expensive. And methylated... I don't think I want to get blind by accidentally drinking it. So my panties were used to clean it.
Nah, iron would be worse.
Also, copper gets black, not green. It gets green only when you have aggressive environment. Seashore, piss, flux, etc.
Bathroom is just water vapor, not some salt or shit, so it will get black.
Clean from copper stains, of course.
Yep. I wanted it to be pretty, and it turned out to be shit in terms of strength (even though 100 kg no problem), and in terms of looks.
They were cold to this.
