    Soldering copper pipe problems melting solder

    go the soft lead free "aquasafe" or go a hotter gas. If you joins are not structural go the soft solder. If your trying to solder copper to SS it can be tricky with soft solder but doable. Heat differences in the metal cause problems, the flux etc and how big an area you need to heat etc.
