When I soldering the solder seems to clump on the pipe instead of smoothly running aroud the outside of the pipe. I alway heat the fitting and apply the solder to the pipe on the opposite side from where I'm applying the heat. What am I doing wroing?

If the joint is not properly cleaned and fluxed and the heat is not properly applied then soldering would not adhere

The Joint should also be dry..
