I am a software engineer. These videos are making me go buy a soldering iron and start practicing soldering :) Thank you.
Hi , thank you for your comment. I'm glad the videos have inspired you to purchase a soldering iron . Buy a few cheap practice kits from eBay , Amazon etc and away you go . In time you will get to know what tools , temperatures etc you will need . I've covered many subjects , tools , methods , cleaning , solders etc in my videos . Hopefully I can help you along the way . Thanks again , and good luck with all your soldering , you will get there 👍
Wow. Beautiful work. Been soldering for 22 years and I've learned loads from your videos.
Hi , thank you for supporting my channel , very much appreciated . I'm glad you enjoy the videos and find them useful that's great to hear . Thanks again for all your time , take care 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 thank you! I posted a video idea in one of your other videos. look for my name and you'll find it. or if you can't, then let me know, and i'll post it here!
please keep making these! I love your attention to detail. very inspiring!

Hopefully the videos have helped a few people out with their soldering problems . Thanks again for your support , take care 👍
Thank you for all your videos a million times over! You are the Bob Ross of Soldering my friend. I wish I could pay you to solder this turn dial that broke off my keyboard or tell me how. Your knowledge is currency!!!! Love from Texas!
Hi , thank you for your comment, very much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoy the videos . I've tried to improve the quality as I've gone along . I know I had volume issues , foggier pictures etc on my early ones but I've learnt as I've posted more , hopefully it shows . If I can help a few people out with their soldering issues then it's all worthwhile .
Thank you again , take care and good luck with all your future soldering projects 👍
"Rob Ross" LOL What Joy to watch them both paint, ... errrr ~ create their art [scenes] with precision. : }
this is not anymore soldering channel - it is now an ART channel! ;-) what an amazing job!
Hi , thank you for your comment and support, much appreciated. If I can help a few people out with their soldering issues then I'm happy . Thanks again , take care 👍
I am very pleased to report that I've revisited my previous SMD PCB soldering disaster, using your technique. I was able to remove all of the bridges on the 44 quad pin IC as well as the blobs of solder from the previously tinned R & C pads with flux & solder wick, to provide a flat surface. Then, one by one, proceeded to populate the SMDs with far greater success than with soldering paste, even with a template.
Your excellent videos have been a game changer for my projects. Fine soldering wire, fine soldering tip, and lots of flux are the keys to success, plus drag the tip away from the legs to pull the solder away, instead of along the legs... exactly as you're demonstrating.
Thank you so much!
Cheers! 😎
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad the videos have been of use for you . If I can help a few people with their soldering then I'm happy . I will always post more when I get time so hopefully these can be of use as well in the future . Thanks again , take care 👍

A simple and great trick, thanks for sharing!
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. This really does work and can come in very handy at times 👍
Mate, again bonus knowledge kindly shared. Thanks as ever, great stuff 👍
Hi , thank you . Hopefully I can help a few people out. Glad to share what I can , thanks again 👍
Nice trick, thanks for sharing
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. This method really does work , but I would try and get proper Kapton from reputable companies . Some of the cheap stuff I've seen online just doesn't stick very well so I would try and avoid these . Thanks again , take care 👍
Nice work!
Hi , thank you, glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Great. Thank you.

Nice thank you
Hi , thank you for watching the video, very much appreciated 👍
Thanks for all of your videos, very interesting and straight to the point. I'm pretty much a beginner and the work you do gives me something to aim for - very inspiring, thank you! By the way, can I ask what your day job is? Is it related to soldering? I'm about to try a micro USB socket replacement and am taking tips from your videos
Thanks 👍
Hi , thank you for watching the video , very much appreciated 👍
I've noticed you apply your flux with what looks like a paint brush. What are your "flux" tools, and your prefered flux?
Hi , thank you for your comment. My flux tool is simply a plastic cable tie which I dip into flux and then apply . The flux I always use has recently been discontinued so I'm looking for a new type at this present time . When I find one I will post it on UA-cam . Thanks again , take care 👍
Brilliant. Wish I'd seen this last week. Etched aboard and soldered on the 603 components and got rather messy. Works fine but doesn't look the best
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , much appreciated. I used to watch solder running on parts of the board that had no solder resist on . Sometimes on RF boards this would cause problems . Decided to try some Kapton tape as an experiment to stop the flow and it worked perfectly . Hopefully the video can help a few people solve the issues I used to have . Thanks again , take care 👍
Great videos! Would be really interesting to see a video on how to desolder something like a 72 pin SIMM socket from a motherboard.
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. I will try and do a connector removal video in the near future , showing a few common types of connectors . Thank you for the suggestion , take care 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 Thank you, really looking forward for that!
I am blown away with your videos these are the best videos on the web. I have watched every video and they are fantastic I have learned so much. Thank you keep posting amazing videos. I would love you to create a video on how to use a multi meter and how to find a fault. You are a great teacher
Hi , thank you for your comment and for watching the videos , very much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed them and found them useful . If I can help a few people then it's all worth it .I will post more when i get some spare time , hopefully soon . Thanks again , take care 👍
Excellent video! Although I wish you would have shown how you initially tacked the components in place.
Hi , thank you for your comment. I've shown tacking in many of my other videos , probably the best one to look at is Soldering smd correctly ( part 4 ) , so hopefully if people need to see it they can maybe see one of my other videos . Thanks again for your time 👍
extremely curious. what brand of 0.3 lead solder are you using? it flows very smoothly! very nice demonstration by the way! Superb!
Brilliant fkning man, thank you for yet another useful guide! gives me an idea on how to save traces from being scratched when picking at mobo mask :p
Hi , thank you for your comment. Great idea , kapton can definitely be used for the purpose you mention , nice one.
Thanks for your support 👍
Ahoy Mateys! I just ordered a roll of captains tape.
I’m joking of course. 😊
Skills
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , much appreciated 👍
Really great video. Thanks for showing your skills can you let me know what flux t
You use please 👍😊
Hi , thank you for your comment. Unfortunately the flux I used in the video and which I've used for many years has recently been discontinued. It was SMFL200D , I loved it , so now I'm trying to find a suitable replacement, when I do I'll post about it on UA-cam. Thanks again , take care 👍
I’m having hard time to solder smd capacitors because they’re too tiny and keep flying off even with the lowest fan setting on the hot air station.
Could I use the tape to keep smd capacitors in place (covering it entirely) and blast it with hot air?
do you do repairs? I have an electronic board that needs fixed after some small water damage, I already disassembled it but don't feel comfortable soldering it myself.
I’m using the no-clean flux in a syringe, I see you use a zip tie to apply what you use, what is it and why?
What is your microscope or Camera with stand that will make this picture please
Hi , thank you for your comment . This picture was simply taken with a mobile phone camera with a macro lens attached . Gives great close up results . Hope that helps , thanks again 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 thanks for the fast reply , that is great, my phone is an Iphone is there any such lens for it ?
Great videos very clear descriptions.
Where do you purchase your smfl200 as seems unavailable?
Hi , thank you for your comment. You are right the SMFL200D flux I used to get in spray cans has now been discontinued. I've used it for many years and loved it . They still sell it in a flux pen but I'm not a fan of flux pens.
I still have a couple of cans left but once I've used these I will be on the lookout for a decent replacement . Maybe someone on UA-cam can tell us about a good alternative. Thanks again , take care 👍
Good morning
In what moment is good to use aluminum tape?
Do you have any links for the type of wick, 😊 whatever? I would love to buy it through your links if you make something off it.
Nice video! Thanks! But I use aluminum foil tape instead of kapton because every single kapton tape I ever bought had terrible weak glue.
Yeah I think its handy for stopping hot air from going into places you don't want it to go either since its so rigid
When you say aluminum foil tape, do you mean the type you use for duct work joints? I dont mean duct tape btw.
@@raygaither9369 No, not duct tape. It's heat resistant aluminum foil tape, very thin but with excelent glue.
part of the issue is the large copper area pulling the heat away - yhr pads should have a thermal relief
Which kapton tape do you use? There is so many brands and types and thickness…i would like to get yours because I see it’s very good for the type of work I do.
Hi , thank you for your comment. The KAPTON TAPE I use which is the proper stuff ( no cheap fake imitation ) is made by 3M . Code is 3M 5413. It comes in various widths 6mm , 12mm , 25mm etc. It is expensive but shop around , Farnell , RS Components, Rapid Online , Mouser , DIGIKEY are all reputable companies but there is others . Hope that helps , thanks again 👍
Did he say what thickness of tape he uses?
What’s the cloth you’re using to clean the flux off? Ultra noob here
Hi , I use Gtek dry wipes ( grove sales ) based in UK . I dip these in a cleaning fluid called Ultrasolve or if I can't get that I use one called Flux Off. These are the best wipes I've ever used and they also leave no fibres behind . Hope that helps , thanks for your comment 👍
There is no Kapton tape to buy far and wide from us. :(
"From us" OR "For us"?
@@REXXSEVEN I guess "for us". 😂
it's like anti-flux. LOL
