    I think you use a little too much solder for my tastes but, basically it looks like good technique.
    I also think it would have been good to demonstrate the use of braided solder wick.

    Mabye show some removal of solder ie. Desoldering with vacuum tool or braided flat wire ..

      More famously known as a solder sucker. I was just about to make the same comment when I saw yours.

      the craft king #1 using a solder sucker is very easy to do and very handy.

    • @UrbanSleepersOfficial
      @UrbanSleepersOfficial 5 лет назад

      the craft king #1 just hold your soldering iron until the solder becomes fluid and have the solder sucker next to it to suck it in before it solidifies once again.

    I dont know have to solder before and after I watched you video, I tried it, and it worked. Now ( two month later) I have built my own racing drone. Thank you sooooo much...😃

    Second tip you should not keep iron on any electrical board more than 5 seconds or the heat will travel to components and cause thermal damage. That's why you raise temp on larger connections to heat that area rapidly before thermal transfer gets to your components. Allow components to cool between tinning and actual soldering of connection.

    What’s up with people not using flux???. It makes things 100% faster PLUS less heat transfer to your components.
    Always apply flux to your pads and wires, tin everything with the same solder, join with a very small amount of solder on your iron tip, and boom instant perfect solder joint. Finally wipe the excess flux and heat shrink. Soldering will always be easier and faster with flux!

    • @don83030
      @don83030 6 лет назад +3

      Most wires already have a flux resin core. But yeah I get what you mean. Flux just makes things easy

    • @its_arvinsingh
      @its_arvinsingh 6 лет назад

      He did use flux u can see it bubbling in the wire

  • @benjamincrall8065
    @benjamincrall8065 6 лет назад +1

    Pretty good, but a park of actual wire strippers is a very worthwhile investment. The side cutters work, but are very fiddly to use in smaller wires

    I wonder which part of the Atlantic Ocean, now contains the loose 'L' that fell off the word 'solder' on the way over there?
    Maybe they were all Puritans & considered the letter unspeakable, hence . . . (FX: Barely noticeable splash, gulls etc. : )

  • @kekerc9944
    @kekerc9944 6 лет назад +2

    Good tip for flight controls and esc's is to put a larger than object piece of double side tape on work surface and place item to be soldered on to tape to hold in position.....also can be helpful tinning small wire bundles without damaging them....👍

  • @skrawn1342

    Guys (Americans), it's soLder, not "sodder". It's not a silent "L".
    Nice video though.

  • @txkflier

    Never, ever reheat solder. Remove the excess solder and apply fresh solder while heating the connection. When you stop feeding solder, pull the iron away within a second or two..

    Just to make it a little easier for us non-americans - could you give your measurements (temperature, in this case) in metric/SI-units?

    This actually would of been useful to see about a week ago as I was learning to solder for SAE Aero. Before I knew little but afterward I became a GOAT at soldering. Maybe perhaps a video on moderate to advanced soldering skills 😀

    Is it the same when you are soldering two wires?

    • @benjamincrall8065
      @benjamincrall8065 6 лет назад

      Solder doesn't make a very good mechanical connection, so it is a good idea to twist the wires together first. Then just apply solder. If you use heatshrink, remember to add that first

    • @rmdcade1717
      @rmdcade1717 6 лет назад

      Solder (Middle English "souder", from Old French "soudeur", from Latin "solidare", meaning "to make solid") has divergent pronunciation. Lots of French words derived from Latin drop "L"s here and there. The word was pronounced "sodder" for centuries, basically until a fundamentalist movement in the 15th century sought to return Latin-derived words to their roots. The word was inconsistently pronounced "sodder" or "solder" for a few generations more, and, as with many words, the American version stayed unchanged from its 17th-century version while the British version shifted.

    Didn't see him use any soldering acid, that might be a good idea to aply before tinning a surface. Help the solder to apply more easily

    • @bruceneedleman1179
      @bruceneedleman1179 6 лет назад

      Liutauras Grybauskas The solder used for electronics is different than for plumbing applications. The solder for electronics is a rosin core solder which basically is solder and flux in one.

    • @SkyFireDrone2022
      @SkyFireDrone2022 6 лет назад

      I’ve tried a soldering “pen” like this for a clean surface 🤓

    • @mpikas
      @mpikas 6 лет назад

      In electronics you don't use acid to clean the surfaces first, acid would lead to corrosion and eventually a failed joint. Instead you use flux, but you basically use it the same as you would use acid. Electronics solder is flux cored and I've had good luck using it without additional flux, but I know a few electronics techs that swear you should always use additional flux.

    • @liutaurasgrybauskas8377
      @liutaurasgrybauskas8377 6 лет назад

      Mark Pikas Well yeah I guess you don't need acid for electronics, it just comes in handy when you're making some structural parts.
      As for flux, yes, some electronic solders contain it, but not all. That's why I always use it when I'm soldering

    • @txkflier
      @txkflier 5 лет назад

      For electronics, use rosin core solder, not acid core. Extra flux is usually not necessary..
