fantastic. you're such a good instructor.
Hi , thank you for your kind words , very much appreciated . If my channel can help a few people out with their soldering / desoldering issues then I'm happy . It's always nice to receive positive comments , so thank you .
Great instruction and camera work. More than 50 years in the electronic industry and really enjoy your instruction.
The right gauge solder , extra flux and temperature controlled iron with a chisel tip makes all the difference together with the regular cleaning and tinning of the tip.
Found the youtube PACE instruction videos also a game changer
Hi , thank you for your kind words , very much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoy the videos . I've tried to improve my postings as I've gone along ( my early ones were a learning curve for me as I'd never filmed anything before ) . Hopefully people enjoy my more recent ones as they should be a bit clearer and that I can help a few people out. Thanks again for appreciating what I do , it means a lot 👍
Good guide for beginners, very detailed and informative. Well done!👍

Very good
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, hopefully it can help a few people with some basics 👍
This was a video I didn’t even know I needed to watch!! Been away from soldering for decades now, this was a great refresher course! Thanks a billion for your time and effort. I really like that you zoom in nice and tight, and solder live on camera. Amazingly instructional!!
Now that everything is basically SMD, what advice do you have on using solder paste and a heat gun instead of an iron?
Greetings from Sweden!
Hi , thank you for watching the video , much appreciated. I've posted quite a few various soldering videos on UA-cam showing various aspects of soldering , right down to the tiny stuff 0201's etc hopefully they are helping people . They have definitely got better over time regarding clarity , sound etc so I'm glad you found this one ok .
I do use solder paste occasionally for some soldering but I still prefer hand soldering when I can as if you are pasting up boards you need to buy stencils for your pasting whereas most items I can just hand solder. There will always be a place for the good old soldering iron .
I do have a hot air rework station the Quick 861DA model which if pasting is great for this and for any hot air rework etc. I can easily fit fine pitch QFP's using paste from a fine nozzle syringe so I do like using paste but only occasionally. I think it's easier to control your solder amount with an iron than with paste unless you have the correct stencils . In some of my other videos I mention different thickness solders , different soldering iron tips , fluxes etc that are all crucial to achieve certain results . Hope that helps. Thanks again for your support 👍
nice video, keep going
Hi , thank you , glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully I can help a few new people out with their soldering questions , thanks again 👍
I bought last year a Katsu soldering station new for £12, had a fairly basic temp control and some spare tips etc, for heavier work I use my Parkside heavy duty mains one but I use that less and less as the Katsu just does the job.
Hi , thank you for your comment. Information like yours is great as it will give some good advice to people maybe buying their first soldering iron . The more comments like this the better to help people know what's available . Thank you for this , much appreciated 👍
¡Gracias!
Hi , no problem . I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Good luck with all your soldering projects 👍
Such great videos - really helpful! Please could you share some details of the extras you use, such as the microscope make or type? Also, the flux you recommend seems to have become discontinued - any suggested replacement (I'm in the UK)? Thanks again!
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated.
In a few of my other videos I mention the types of tools , scopes , cleaning fluids etc that I use , I just can't mention these in every video as they would go on for to long.
The microscope is a stereo long reach one from a company in England called GT Vision . It's their own brand one , not a branded one that costs ten times more . I really love it and as it's long reach you can get really big boards underneath it easily . This is the type I would definitely recommend.
Soldering iron I use is a Weller TCP S with conical tip PTP7 or large flat sided tip DD8. You can file these tips down if you need a special shape that's why I love them . People don't think you can do this to tips but with these no problem.
The flux I use I'm going to have to do some asking around to try and find a new type . Shame as I've been using this one for years.
Thank you for your support , like I say there's more info in some other videos , i.e how to clean boards is one example , take care 👍
Brilliant camera shooting mate, cheers
Hi , thank you , glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully this can help a few people out . I always try and show the angles etc clearly so you can see what's going on without a problem , I'm happy you liked how they were . Thanks again 👍
Thanks

Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting, very much appreciated 👍
Excellent for all of your video's..Thanks....Question what do you use for magnification assistance when soldering SMD items. Microscope (type model) ? Magnification eye glasses( 1.5,2.0,3.0?), what do you recommend..Thanks again
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoy the videos.
For certain components I do use a microscope. The type I have always liked is called a stereo long reach microscope and mine was purchased from a company in the UK called GT Vision . I brought their own branded model which is great for me . It has a size adjustment of 0 to 4 on one dial and I have X10 eyepieces fitted to mine
This enables me to see even 0201 size components ( which are like dust ) really easily . The stereo long reach option means you can fit very large boards underneath with ease , being able to manoeuvre the PCB into different areas . I wouldn't buy a standard microscope that you can get where you study insects etc as the working area is to small.
Many different lighting options are available for microscopes but I would recommend getting small goosenecks as you can set them where you need , hope that helps , thanks again 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 at some point would like to see you cover how your microscope works. thanks
Great Videos! In order to get good joint, which is the right temperature to set?
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated.
Generally if I'm using lead free solder I aim for about 350 degrees centigrade and for leaded solder I would use about 320 - 330 degrees centigrade .
Depending on size of joints etc this may vary slightly but for most general joints try the above temperatures and you should be ok . Hope that helps , thanks again 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 Thanks a lot!
Hi , no problem , thanks for your support 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 Hi, I've an other question. I tried soldering and joints were shiny (this is good, if I'm in right). But when i take off the soldering iron tip i get something like an hook. How can I avoid this?
Hi , thank you for your question . I presume you mean a solder spike coming out of the joint . To avoid these there is a couple of things to try . The first and best fix is to use flux on your soldering joints . Maybe you are , I don't know . If you are not I always tell people flux is massively important in soldering and must be used in my opinion . Secondly maybe you haven't got the right size solder tip for the job you are doing or the temperature is not set correctly. Give these a go and hopefully they will help . Good luck , take care 👍
where abouts do you put the wire of solder? on the tip, the side of the tip, or on the wire with the tip heating up the wire?
Hi , thank you for your comment. In this instance I pre tin my iron tip with a tiny amount of solder then place that on the wire . Then simply add the solder very slightly away from the tip and directly onto the wire. The tip would have heated up the wire enabling the solder to melt freely , and the added flux makes the solder run quickly throughout the wire. Hope that helps 👍
hello, I know this is not the video but I have a pcb that has a lifted trace. I was wondering how could i fix it?
Hi , I've recently posted a video on UA-cam showing 2 great ways to fix your traces if damaged or broken . I've also got a very old video on there showing 4 ways to fix if you have a very minor break in a trace , these may help you . Check them out . Thank you for your comment much appreciated , good luck 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 thank you for the help!
Hi , no problem , hope you get on ok . Thank you for your comments , much appreciated 👍
what flux do you recommend?
Hi , I have always used a great rework flux called SMFL200D . Unfortunately it has just been discontinued so I'm shortly going to have to try and find an alternative. When I do I will post about it on UA-cam. Sorry I couldn't help you anymore 👍
Is there a reason you did not twist the wires together?
Hi , just for this video as it was for beginners I just thought most of them would just do this sort of joint where they were placed next to each other and soldered this way . I did mention that you could push them together then twist up as one , in fact I showed this version in my first ever UA-cam video . Hopefully that explains the option I showed and why I showed it , thank you for your comment much appreciated 👍
Which flux do you use?
Hi , I use a flux called SMFL200D , I've posted a complete video on UA-cam showing all about this flux , how I use it , when to use it , places to buy etc. This video explains all . Thank you for watching 👍
