On the serious side of this, I highly recommend wearing glasses or safety glasses when soldering. On more than one occasion in the past (when radios had terminal strips with soldered wires) I have sprayed little blobs of solder on myself when removing a wire from a wrapped connection. The wire strands can sometimes spring back and fling solder. I have had to remove solder bits from the lens' of my glasses.
Of course these days many of us need glasses to find the radio... 73, - Craig, AE6RR -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gary Gregory Sent: Saturday, December 18, 2010 1:58 PM To: Steve Ellington Cc: Barry; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Soldering Naked 'Chuckle'...OK...I guess the 'blob' of metal from the MIG welder that entered my boot and caused me to star in an unscripted episode of 'Dancing with the Sparks' pales into insignificance. My wife is still laughing at my antics but at least Mr. Happy is remains undamaged in my case the embarrassment level is somewhat less than yours.
