tada,
Heat the joint then when the flux starts to burn off apply the solder. If it's heated enough, you don't need to keep the flame on the joint while applying the solder. I'm ssuming you're using 1/2" or maybe 3/4" pipe?
ETA:
My basic point was to say the parts need to be clean, and I should add they need to be dry, if you're working on an existing installation.
It's so much easier for me to show someone in person how it's done that type it out!
