Do you hate to soldier?

clem57

     I seem have have a phobia or mental block when it comes to soldiering. First there is the iron heating up and waiting. Later I have to be careful not to burn me or the table. Ouch!imageimage So now to check was it a good joint. Oops!image Try again until it is correct. So what am I to do? Here is a new tool that I am going to use:

 

 

     Well to jog my memory... Oh where is that pen? Oh well next I need that string around the finger. LOLimage

  • Soldering is an art ....

    Like riding a bike there are both good and bad ways to get the job done, but once mastered it becomes easy.

     

    We teach 11/12 yr olds to solder the components onto our electronic Xmas Tree, but we also show them a bad solder joint and how to fix it.

    The biggest issue is when they have learnt somewhere else or by someone else.

    Rather than heating the wire and pcb and applying solder to the junction, they apply it to the top of the iron ... hence the flux burns off and the joint is not very good.
