Just guessing here, but when I watched the guys “sweat” solder pipes, the wipe off the excess solder with a wet rag while still somewhat liquid…
So guessing warm it up until you can “wipe” off the excess
I had a can of water and rag ready with the idea wiping the excess solder off,
and maybe it would have worked if I had three arms or another person.
Then again, don’t know if it would be good to keep quenching the hot, thin, tin.
Not sure if it would cause buckles.
Buc, for wiping the solder joints you need a DRY cloth that is 100% cotton, old blue jean material is good. no synthetic material or content in the cloth. I would try this, using your propane torch, move along the seam and quickly follow with the dry cloth. Do a little at time , leaving the seam to harden behind as you move along, so that the whole seam doesn’t come apart.
