Copper Pipe Soldering: What am I Doing Wrong?

I am frustrated Because I Have Been practicing soldering 1 / 2 inch copper pipes at my building maintenance and running I cannot get it right. I got the outside from looking nice and neat goal when i saw the pipe down the middle and Separate the fitting and the pipe I see little round spots thesis (about 1 / 8 inch in diameter) Where the solder Did not stick. I Thoroughly clean the pipes, apply flux Enough, Enough apply heat and still I get like one or Two spots per pipe. What am I doing wrong? Thank you, Mario G. oh, and I apply aussi Enough solder. About 3 / 4 inch of solder for a 1 / 2 inch pipe.

Interested in copper but do not want all copper due to maintenance issues. Also, prefer stainless steel over aluminum due to Health Concerns Regarding the aluminum. Cookware need to go from stove top to oven.
