Pictures below are two 1.5" TC I silver soldered to a economy kettle. I clean it after it cooled with acetone then multiple sessions of barkeepers friend. When I fill it up with water I get a milky substance forming on the solder and drifting up and down the side of the kettle. Pictures below are taken with water in the kettle. I can wipe the stuff off and it returns in an hour or two. I used Harris Stay Brite #8 and liquid stay clean flux.
Guessing it some sort of oxidation but the fact that there is visible stuffing coming into the water makes me nervous.
Q: Does this look right?
Q: OK to use?
Q: I missed the part to wipe off excess solder with a damp rag, will reheating then wiping off the excess fix the problem?
