Soldering is a valuable skill. There are a lot of situations where the ability to repair or modify electronics can really save the day. But most people don't carry a soldering iron around with them. And even if you did have a soldering iron, there is a good chance that you might not ...

Tin has a higher melting point than lead resulting in more heat needed to achieve flow. And, although tin gets the job done, it sometimes needs a little help. Many lead-free solder variants have what's called aflux core.For now, just know that flux is a chemical agent that aids in ...
Don't worry about all the terms that you see. 60/40 means that it is 60 percent tin, 40 percent lead, and "flux core" means that the solder has flux inside, which acts as a cleaning agent for the joint, removing things like oils and corrosion, and giving you a nice, ...
The soldering iron in most of the pictures is made by Weller, and has a variable temperature control. This is the best of both worlds since you can set the heat exactly where you want it, but it's significantly more expensive than fixed-temperature irons. If you're just going to do so...
Using a soldering iron though, I really question getting down to 1/10th of a percent with a dilution. I think you really have to grind it down to do that and still leave enough copper on there, not going to be fun. A real challenge one way or another. Good luck P.C. ...
If static sensitive components are used, touch the soldering iron tip to a metal object before soldering to remove the static charge accumulated at the tip. Wires should be soldered firmly to prevent loose contact. Before soldering the wires, clean the bare wire with a blade to remove rust ...

Furthermore, you can use a wet sponge; however, using a wet sponge drips the soldering tip temperature temporarily when it is wiped. The much preferred alternative to the wet sponge is a brass sponge. Soldering Iron Stand This iron stand is basic but useful and important to have. The iron...
I made a jack block from balsa,found some better tools in the spares box and set about bending the tin for those items. Most II Ds had a screened in back porch that was later replaced with armor plate to give the crew a little better protection from the rear. Mine is an earlier ...
