Just got soldering stuff


Recommended Posts

hey fred, i was in radio shack last night. and saw some solder in a syringe all you had to do is put some on connection and use a lighter or a match to melt it.

 

i might pick some up and see how it works, anyone else try this stuff?

Soldering the battery jack onto your fuzz pedal is a simple job... Stuff like soldering braided wiring to the back of a pot or soldering a pickup cover was a ***** for me... until ... I bought one of these...

Now even those solders are a snap... More heat = easier soldering... just be careful not to melt any plastic or any other important object near your solder joint..

I don't think that would be very good for pedal building. Your dealing with some heat sensitive components

true... but I would rather have a more powerful iron than one that cannot do the big jobs... I suppose you could have 2 irons, one as a powerful gun and one that is one of those weaker pencil designs..
