Yea but there was only flux there cause he hadn't applied the solder yet...

Nevermind that! How the hell does he fit behind the steering wheel of his truck?

The "bread" trick is for hacks and homeowners

A professional uses tools, not food products to sweat a line with running water in it. You use that in conjunction with a ball valve to get a good seal. Or you could always find someplace lower than where your soldiering to let the water out instead. If I saw anyone sticking crap that doesn't belong in a water line working for me they would be looking for work elsewhere. I don't need call backs for aerators clogged up with bread peices.

Wipe excess flux after heating joint a little, this will prevent solder from running down pipe.

Using the proper amount of solder also helps.

On another site you would get several guys telling you that it is better to spend a couple grand and 8 bucks a fitting to use pro-press
