Default RE: Soldering Deans


BobbyG, I know you're kidding, but I will take the opportunity to say that the method shown on the video is the only one Iuse. It works like a charm all the time... It helps a lot to have a good quality soldering iron, preferably a range-adjustable one (dial type), as the melting point of the solder varies among manufacturers. Also, this type of iron usually keeps the selected temperature stable, whereas simpler/cheaper ones allow big temperature fluctuations, even within a single soldering session, leading to much frustration... A wider tip (e.g. chisel) also helps. Finally, flux is a must for consistency.

Happy soldering.
