New DIY skill unlocked. I needed to shorten one of our copper drainpipes, so thought it was a good excuse to buy a new blowtorch.
Luckily whoever did it before did such a bad job that the tube just fell out with the slightest heat, I don't think they drew the solder into the joint at all.
I probably could have done a better job on prepping and heating, but I'm confident it is at least 10x better than it was before.
