I have seen another video where they flood the area with flux and then tin the pads and then basically reflow the solder when the pins are in place. Your method is is truly a work of art.

[@mrsolderfix3996]

Hi . This is what I love about soldering . There are so many different ways that people do things and I don't say my way is better than the next persons , but it works for me . That's why I like to share my experiences and hopefully it can help a few people who might choose my methods . Thanks again for your nice words 👍

Impressive skills, compared to your precision methods everyone else looks like they're cheating with pre-tinned pads and drag soldering. And I've never been able to get lead free solder to flow like yours does, very jealous! Subscribed.

[@mrsolderfix3996]

Hi . Thank you . Personally I'm not a fan of drag soldering , pin by pin works for me . Drag soldering if not done right can cause more damaged pins and pads so I avoid it . But like I always say , everyone has their own methods they like . The lead free solder I use is great compared to how lead free was when it first come into mainstream soldering . I get mine from a company in England called BLT Circuits . All there products are great . I also use lots of flux as I keep mentioning in the videos , without this you've got no chance of tidy solder joints . Thanks again 👍

Wow such expertise, I've returned to soldering from a time when it was all big chunky thru hole stuff and astonished how its all changed :)

[@popgenje7234]

You are inspiration as well as confidence for me in the smd world. I finished my first proto pcb with five 0603 resistor, one 1206 led and one 1206 cap. There are four THDs also. It's my fault that I mixed up your technique with another video. I tinned with a little more solder one pad, then refluxed, then slided the component while holding the iron to melt the solder to tack the component in place. Rest is same as yours. On the other video during tacking he holds and slides the component by pushing from top, but I holded the component from sides with angled tweezers like you, because I think it may help solder to flow beneath the component. The circuit worked but I am not happy with the finish as some 0603 components floated on melted solder at one side during tacking and I didn't see that then. I should have followed your technique as is without any modifications. I have another same board I will finish that with your technique as is.

When soldering the leds, it looks like the inner clear plastic i bubbling. Maybe it's a non issue / not a problem. Or, maybe it's just some visual effect from the smoke? Around 2:20

[@mrsolderfix3996]

Hi . Thank you for watching . I can guarantee you there was no melting of the inner plastic as can be seen in the photographs that are tagged onto the end of the video showing these Led's. I've learnt to do these really quick ( fact I mention in the video ) so as to not melt the plastic .These soft bodied components don't like an iron on for to long but you can do them ok if done quickly. The inner clear body of these led's takes a lot more heat than the outer body so it's actually quite hard to melt the inner if you solder these quick . Thanks again 👍

[@salahzenieh2515]

Amazing videos- do you solder under a microscope or a magnifying lense? How do you handle these tiny components? Would you be willing to share some of your equipment? I have already watched the one on tweezers and the cleaning video with Ultrasolve and flux off. But, I am interested in more info. Like the tip of your soldering iron, solder paste type and generally your soldering station setup. Thank you for sharing your amazing techniques and experience.

[@martinsamuelsson2322]

Excellent video, well done on filming while you solder, it´s super clear to see what you do! Do you use/recommend cleaning tissues? I have issues with cleaning boards from flux, I find that the flux is just pushed around the board when using qtips.

[@mrsolderfix3996]

Hi . Thank you for your nice words. The cleaning tissues I use are very thin dry wipes that leave minimal fibres behind . They are amazing and I've tried lots of types over the years but nothing comes close to these . I just dip them in a small amount of cleaning fluid ( I use fluid called Ultrasolve ) but there are others out there and wipe away all the flux . Does a great job . You can get these dry wipes from a company called Grove Electonics , www.grovesales.co.uk , about £4.50 a pack of 100. Hope that helps. Thanks again for your time , good luck👍

[@ES-iv6wb]

Hello there Amazing video. I’ve just done my first resistor network, it was tough to get those curved joints you have. I think it could be my soldering iron (it’s brand new). I have a hard time to get it pre-tinned at the tip! You sorta mentioned in the video you file your iron just after you buy it new. I took a 2nd look at your iron and I do see it has rugged edges. Does that help you retain solder easier at the tip? I hear a lot of conflicting opinions about filing an iron or even just using steel wool to clean it. Your input would really mean a lot to me. Thank you 🙏🏼

So when soldering the LEDs and your "quick" do you have like a really high temp on your soldering iron? When I try to be fast, the solder never melts as quickly as your does. It takes like 3 seconds instead of 1. But If i have my iron super hot, I feel like it is too hot and burns components before the solder even melts still. idk. I just dont know why my solder takes a few more seconds to melt than yours does. Maybe I just have a crappy soldering iron. idk.

[@mrsolderfix3996]

Hi , thank you for your comment . I don't do anything special with temperatures etc when I'm soldering LED's . Leaded soldering roughly 330 degrees Celsius and Lead free about 370 degrees Celsius . The irons I always use in my videos are Weller branded . I also use Metcal . These 2 brands in my opinion are the best 2 makes . Metcal are expensive but some of the Wellers aren't to bad . Cheap irons can be nasty and inconsistent , that may be your problem . Hopefully you get to the bottom of it . Thanks again , good luck 👍

Beginner question but what temperature should your iron be at? if it's different for different parts what do you recommend? And thank you for all the great videos,

[@mrsolderfix3996]

Hi . Thank you for your question. All the soldering done in this particular video was done at 350 degrees centigrade . This temperature will generally solder most small parts with small joints like these . When I have larger component joints to solder I normally just change my soldering iron tip to a large flat sided one as I done in the previous video I posted but still keep to this sort of temperature. The key to a lot of successful soldering is to use a good flux . I use a type called SMFL200D which really aids with all soldering . Also try and get some thin solder like I used in this video . I used 0.25mm available from ( BLT Circuits , based in England ). So 350 degrees C , flux and thin solder and that will help with all small joints. Hope that helps .

Which solder flux you have used

[@mrsolderfix3996]

Hi . I use SMFL200D flux . It comes in a 200ml spray can and is a great flux . I normally spray a small amount into a small container ( milk lid for example ) and use a dipped Ty wrap to apply it . It's about £13 a can from Farnell , RS Components , eBay and others . Fairly easy to get hold of . Hope that helps . Good luck .

Are you using microscope?

[@mrsolderfix3996]

Hi . I use a microscope ( stereo long reach ) for some parts , but for other general parts I don't. Thank you 👍

Flux name

[@mrsolderfix3996]

Hi . I use a flux called SMFL200D . It's a liquid flux , and comes in a 200ml spray can . I just squirt a small amount into a small container and apply using a dipped plastic Ty wrap to the desired areas . It's about £15 a can and available from Farnell , RS Components , Rapid Online , even seen it on eBay . Pretty easy to get hold of . Hope that helps 👍

Hi , thank you for watching the video , much appreciated 👍

[@sergioarango5359]

this seems easy, but it is not, success depends on a good soldering iron and precision aided with a microscope

You should have many more views. Lookup KZbin KEYWORDS to increase your views. Very good info..

[@mrsolderfix3996]

Hi . Thank you for your comment , very much appreciated. I guess I'm just hoping that the views come naturally , it would be nice to have more , but I think I'm doing reasonably ok . Your probably right and I could increase with some tinkering here and there , but I'm just hoping people pass me on to friends etc and I grow like that . Thanks again for supporting me 👍
