does solder still have lead in it? yeah i beleive it does. They have other alternatives that have the same electrical properties but without the hazard of working with lead. Jason NYC |
I just did a little reading on that. Lead is a very good choice for most work. Well, other than the fact that it kills your brain. Some lead-free solders have corrosion issues.

really good job.....i prefer a butane iron it seems to be more movable...just remember to keep the solder of the iron and use the heat to soak the wire braid........yet excellant job.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

I bought this contraption and it works great!

Thanks for the compliments. Yeah butane is also portable which is an added plus.

I bought this contraption and it works great! That thing looks crazy, it could be a toture device! Thanks for the feedback everyone Jason NYC NYRA Prez www.nyrotary.com |

Heres another one that i just did. I did what my a friend of mines told me to do. I put the strands of the two wires into one another then twistied them.
Question: A bit of the cable under the insulation gets hards also, is it becuase the solder thats extra flows into the rest of the cable if it has been saturated enough? I did a lil experiemtn and left the heat on for a bit longer and kept adding solder till the entire cable on both sides were hard like rocks. it looks dark grey/black after i peeled the insulation. Im trying to find how long you should leave the soldering iron to the cable while applying solder. I know it also depends on gauge, the thicker the longer. Does anyone have a list of different gauges and how long heat should be applied. Or should i just practice with diff gauges when the times comes More pics. 360 degrees of a peice i just did Attachment 20092 Attachment 20093 Attachment 20094 ^^ On this peice only a small portion of the cable under the insulation was hard. The rest remained flexible as it was prior to soldering. I assume this is the best, cuz you still need it to be workable. Thanks Jason |
when the wire draws in the silder it may sometimes draw a little in the insulating covor on the wire....no big deal and keep practicing your pretty good

THANKS guys i really find it fun to solder lloll, i been soldering a whole bunch of stuff.
Im going to crack open this old computer and start doing PCB's with my 25 watt ,700F 1/8" soldering pen =) |
pcb'S DIDNT go to well, ya got any tips?
