I don't remember where I found this idea - might have been on this forum - or youtube...
I have an old 30W soldering iron. I removed the tip and replaced it with a Phillips-head bolt the same size thread. Took a 3/32 drill bit, and drilled into the Phillips-head out abt 1/2inch deep. Put the soldering iron into a vice - or clamp it to your bench, business-side up. Fill the hole with solder, and voilà - a mini solder pot. 73 de JohnE/kd0nqc On 04/06/2016 01:06 PM, N2TK, Tony wrote: > Is there a recommendation on small solder pots?
