Hi, I am wondering about heat, I am using the mid-range you suggest of 750F for my soldering station.
It is hard to get the solder to wick straight through to the other side of the board. I know there is a connection through the hole. In your notes, I don't see any suggestions on how much to heat a component. ie: the rapidity of moving from one pin to the next of the component. When soldering, of course I understand that you heat the metal of both pieces and apply the solder to the metal being soldered. Do I have to be that anal with this kit to make sure they all wick to the other side? In my mind, I risk damaging something along the way. 73 -- Cheers, Alan >From the Mandrake Linux ver 9.2 system of Alan, VY2WU A Windoze free zone. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
