I find that when I try to join two pads, all my solder runs underneath and forms a big blob on the bottom of the board

The most important explanation is often forgotten! When is your soldering iron too cold or too hot and how do you prevent damaging components?

I tried to use my wick but the solder wasn’t melting. I added flux and it still wasn’t melting and the solder wick got immensely hot so I would have to let go and I would just fall. Why isn’t it melting? I had my iron at 850°
@HowDoYouDIY12 күн бұрын
There could be a few reasons why the solder wasn't melting. The size of the metal that the solder is on could be pulling too much heat away from the solder before it can melt. The alloy of the solder itself could also be complicating the situation. If you have some lead based solder, you could try melting some of that with the solder that's already there (before using the wick) and see if that helps. But it might be more helpful to get some removal alloy. It's specifically made to lower the melting point of the solder you want to remove. Here's a link to some that comes with instructions how to use it: amzn.to/3Pgbz5d I hope this is helpful.

IMO the best flux for electrical/electronics is the type that contains zinc chloride as the active ingredient. It is way more reactive than the rosin contained in the solder wire.
@Zerpersande16 күн бұрын
1:01 Yeah, but you weren’t heating the wires well BEFORE applying solder. And that should be done whether you use flux or not.
@obiwanfisher53717 күн бұрын
I always hated soldering since we did it in school. In hindsight, the teacher never gave us flux or explained what it does.

More Tips: In PCB Design you often do horizontal and vertikal traces on different layers. This works also great on perf-boards.

I have a french press for coffee. My wifee chipped the pouring spout while washing it ! How can I smooth the sharp edge so she won't get cut ? Small torch òr sandpaper polishing ? 4:06
@HowDoYouDIY21 күн бұрын
I'm not sure how well a small torch would work. I've never tried that. Sandpaper will work tho. If you're only concerned about sanding the chipped edges so it's not sharp anymore, 80 grit sandpaper will dull the edges fairly quick. But if you want the edges polished, that will take a bit longer going thru the different grits.

I’ve never soldered so I don’t know anything. But why not heat the wires and apply the solder directly to the wire?
@HowDoYouDIY21 күн бұрын
That's a good question. What you're describing is the proper way to solder, but this video isn't about how to solder. The purpose of this video is about the effects of flux. The video I uploaded before this one is about applying solder. Here's a link to that video if you're interested in watching it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6LOXqiir5VogJo

Thank you! You saved me so much effort. The plastic bottle with a hole for continuous stream of water is brilliant!!! I will use when working on stained glass and need a 3rd hand for my small bit on top of my grinder. Once I had a divot, I used my glass grinder to break thru and then widen to a larger hole. The plastic pattern cut from a container, so good. Thank you.

I've already attempted to do this, but don't have the proper tools to do it and ruined the circuit board. I ordered a new board, but Id like to take it somewhere to have it done properly but not sure what kind of company I should look at to do the work. Any idea on what type of service/company I should be looking up to have them do this for me?
