Default RE: what type of solder to use


ORIGINAL: jaka

Hi!
Agree! Using ordinary sweet solder is just perfect for our modeling use. A 50W Weller soldering iron is what have used for the last 35 years and is just perfect for soldering jsut about anything from 6mmpiano landing gears to delicate electronic devices as it has interchangeable soldering tips (iron plated).
Stay-Brite sweet silver solder is best/strongest of all sweet solders though , but remember the acid! It is making steel rust in no time!

Man You had to think WAY out of the box to design that fuel tank. Nice.
