      I've seen other soldering demonstrations on RUclips where they didn't use rubber insulation or heatshrunk tubing on the alligator clips, and the heat of the soldering process transmitted up through the copper wire to soften the insulation, and the alligator clips left teeth marks in the insulation.

    The first solder joint I did I was under the instruction of my grandfather (repairing my RC car). He looked at the board and said "That's enough solder to weld the Titanic"
    To this day, nearly forty years later, I hear that every time I'm soldering; regardless of how neat or messy I am.

      I remember my first solder joint. I tried to solder the aluminum rear cap onto the front housing of a lamp socket. Little did I know these were never meant to be soldered with tin/lead solder...or any solder. Also I didn't pre-clean or use flux. It l looked like chicken had shit solder on it. Oh well, much living and learning since.

    Excellent advice and great videos as always, many thanks. Can you please recommend a reasonably priced, but good quality solder available in England please??? I have bought cheap solder in the past, but it's not too good, but times are hard and I cannot afford to pay £70 to £80 for a roll of solder, so I was wondering if there is a good quality, but not too expensive Solder Brand you could recommend???
    Many thanks and keep the videos coming, they are very informative and interesting.

Yes I generally do clean the flux off after , I've shown how I do this in a few videos , in fact I dedicated one whole video on RUclips to how I clean my boards after Soldering . Most fluxes these days are non corrosive so can be left on after although I always feel you should get as much off as you can . Thanks again , take care 👍

    I'm not a fan of conical tips, i prefer the chisel tips. You don't have to angle the soldering handle as much and can get better heat transfer in thigh places. I can be biased, i learned on a Weller WECP with chisel tips. ^^

    I hade a pocket transistor radio that had resistors that were placed on end. So I copied what I saw. I was given a soldering instructional project circuit board. My teacher made me place the resistors flat on the board. He told me all axial lead components were to be placed flat on the board. There is shock and heat considerations when mounting components on circuit boards! So lay them flat! And if shock is a problem then use low temp hot melt glue to stabilize the components from shock.

      @@stillfishing4sheep hi , thank you for your comment . I've worked with many PCB designers over the years who have requested parts to be placed on end due to space restrictions . They were clued up on this and so I disagree with your teacher on this point , sorry . Thanks again 👍

      I worked with a guy who called this on-end style as "japanese style" because of the way japanese transistor radios from the 1960's were made. Yes, done for space restrictions before SMT was economical.

      @goodun2974 2 месяца назад

      ​​@@mrsolderfix3996, I was a full-time audio equipment repair tech for 20 years; Many famous-name Japanese manufacturers would intentionally place certain resistors vertically, pointing straight up rather than laying them down horizontally on the circuit board. Sometimes this was done for heat dissipation, or to prevent the PC board from being burned if the resistor was likely to burn up due to a customer-created fault like shorting the speaker wires and blowing output transistors ---- which would often burn up associated components. Sometimes this was done with carbon composition or carbon film resistors that are known to burn quite readily and spectacularly if overloaded, but other times it was done with fusible resistors that were specifically chosen to open up and act as fuses in the event of an overload. So yes, I am with you on this one!

    Is you preference using leaded solder, rather than lead free.

    • @mrsolderfix3996
      @mrsolderfix3996  2 месяца назад

      Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , much appreciated . I think we would all prefer to use leaded solder if we could as it is easier to work with as it's got a lower melting point . The trouble these days is most firms demand lead free although a hobbyist can just use leaded ( if they can get it ) as some suppliers only sell leaded to businesses . Thanks again , take care 👍

      ​​@@mrsolderfix3996Well, when your headphones are €600,- you'll give it your all to get it right. I fixed my dad's set working together with him. It was a delight to work together. He positioned the wires for me while keeping the easily melting stuff out of the way and I used my better sight to solder the tiny joints onto the headphone speakers. Mind you, these were over-ear muffs, not the the in-ear types. The dealer had given up on them, so it was quite satisfying to get it to work again. It's been 4 years ago now and they're still going strong.
