Not for the solder he's got on there now BD.

… and that tip ain't being much help either.
A flat [chisel/square, i.e., not pointy] tip would be best for max heat transfer.<script type="text/javascript" src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/6f136b72/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js"></script>

 

[laatsch55]

Agreed Bd, and more side than tip would help too as you've said...

D2, get some paper towel, and fold it a few times, then dampen it with some water.Then wipe ur tip a few times, and re-tin the tip with some fresh solder and tackle it again straightaway before that solder starts to go 'off'.

So far.....let me know when I can put new solder on. or whether to keep sucking this bitch.

 

[laatsch55]

D2, I gotta be up at 5AM. It is now midnight. Finish those 2 solder joints up and we'll finish up tomorrow Bud. BD can get ya through these 2 joints. BD, when he gose with the new 60/40 he can tone down that iron...

 

[derek92994]

I have an air compressor to so can blow those metal bits away when we are done.

 

[laatsch55]

D2--MUCH BETTER> Finish off with the new solder and call it a night....here anyway...later Bud..

Thats the hardest one and the scariest one because its so close to the component.

 

[laatsch55]

OK, I gotta go to the shop for awhile in the morning. I'll let ya know. Finish those 2 joints with the new solder. Do what BD suggested. Get a water wet rag and wipe your tip off and retin it. Then attack the joint. Nite..

 

[derek92994]

I'll have another go at that blob BD. I just need a cigarette right now. All is good though, its a learning process bud.

if u come in from 7 o'clock with the side of the tip and the sucker from 2 o'clock, u should be safe.<script type="text/javascript" src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/6f136b72/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js"></script>
