 BWW Project 25-11  2nd Attempt on basement freeze leak

Because I had one drip on a soldered connection between copper pipe and a brass valve, I had to tear out the whole fix and start over.  I turned the brass valve around and used the other side.  I did that connection on the ground before putting the whole thing back up and soldering it in place.  

Guess what!  Another drip on the brass valve.  A slow one, about 1 drip a second.  I put a tub under it and let the whole project rest.  I was hoping the drip would silt up with minerals from the water, and it did, but not enough.  I left the tub under it for a week and a half while I stewed.  The torch just doesn't quite get the valve, which is pretty massive, hot enough for the solder to flow quickly and fill up the cavity.
