Re: I cracked a water pipe ...
Do everything this guy said and you'll be fine.
I just did this for the first time last week and the sweating was the easy part. They even make "EZ sweat" connectors that have the soldier already inside. All you have to do is flux it, heat it, and you'll see the bead come up.
If you have any threaded connections you need to repair, either use a [censored] ton of teflon tape (we didn't use enough) or use "pipe dope," which is a goop that seals even better.
