> Al and/or Dianne, > > If you have a Hakko-style soldering pump similar to the Model 808, its nozzle (ordinarily used for desoldering) makes a great way to heat and apply solder to the varnished leads to remove varnish and tin them quickly. > > Prior to using that technique (recently suggested on this reflector), I used a combination of candle or butane- lighter flame, fine-grit sandpaper and an occasional light coating of flux to get the job done to my satisfaction. > > Whatever method you adopt just be sure that the finished solder joints are completed with a proper "wet" look, and measure their resistance to the PCB board. Obviously, be sure to remove any residual traces of flux that may remain behind too. > > 73 > Steve Banks > K0PQ > Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile > > -----Original Message----- > From: "Al & Dianne Bruce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2007 07:46:13 > To:<[email protected]> > Subject: [Elecraft] Tororids > > > I'm having trouble tinning my toroid leads.
