I use the solder blob approach and one trick I found is that taking a couple of swipes with a piece of fine grit sandpaper pinched around the wire really helps with making the solder blob approach go much faster.
Like others mentioned: high heat and continuous feed of rosin core solder is necessary. A final pass with a clean iron and fresh solder makes for a nice clean shiny coat. I also hold the core on a piece of dowel or a chopstick to avoid burning my fingers. 73 jim ab3cv _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
