What flux do you use?

Beautiful joints and crystal clear camera work.

Hi , thank you for your continued support of my channel , it really is appreciated 👍

[@kennith.]

Thank you for sharing. Appreciate the tip regarding the tip size and melting the plastic and ending up with loose pins.

Excellent video, superb skills. I always cringe watching EEVBlog soldering, but with your soldering it is just perfection

@@mrsolderfix3996 I do appreciate you attention for the reply of your followers from different countries. Go well.

At 17:11, the chisel tip used previously has been swapped out for a *beveled* (or "hoof") tip, very usefull for working on SMD's (and when desoldering, or cleaning solder from pads, with solder-wick). A discussion of tip shapes and their specific applications seems in order....the beveled tip gets a quick mention at 21:03 .

[@mrsolderfix3996]

Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. The soldering iron tip which was used in all of the examples up to 17:11 was a PTP7 tip for a Weller iron , this is a Conical tip , not a chisel . I tend to use like I mention in the videos the Conical and the larger Hoof tip for nearly all of my soldering work and in fact have never used a Chisel tip in any of my videos . Just thought I'd mention this in case other people are getting confused . Thanks again 👍

[@goodun2974]

@@mrsolderfix3996 , I was an audio repair tech for 20 years (mostly working with through-hole components on vintage equipment) and I used the same type of Weller soldering station every day, except I almost always used a #7 (700° F) *chisel* tip. I didn't do much SMD work or perhaps I would have found more use for conical tips. Unfortunately, conical tips are the defacto standard included with pretty much every soldering iron or station, even though for anything other than SMD work they're often inappropriate. The beginner electronics hobbyist often discovers that it can be difficult to do simple things like soldering wires together with a long, pointy conical tip because there's poor heat transfer to the very end of it (especially when they're using modern direct-from-China tips made to poor tolerances, of some unknown metal with lousy heat transfer characteristics). Anyway, on very small connections I found I could use a small chisel tip effectively by just turning the soldering wand sideways a little bit. BTW, I have several soldering related videos and equipment reviews on my channel, with more to come soon.....

[@AbhijitGangoly]

Amazing results...... Truly inspirational..... Please do another THT video.

Quando assisti um vídeo seu sobre novas técnicas de soldagem e dessoldagem, já me escrevi logo em seu canal. Muito obrigado por compartilhar conosco seus conhecimentos e habilidades. Gostei muito de você ter colocado a bandeira do Brasil na entrada do seu canal. 😃

[@kerbalette156]

You should make/sell pcbway boards and components to solder for practice. Starting at larger then progressing to smaller

[@adolfohernandez4307]

Great vid man! Thanks!

[@mrsolderfix3996]

Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , very much appreciated 👍

[@Gazzyb2071]

Your solder work is excellent, could you recommend some decent set's of tweezers?? Many thanks

[@mrsolderfix3996]

Hi , thank you for your comment . I've posted a complete video on my channel all about tweezers . This may be able to help you . Thanks again 👍

[@greencontact]

Like your videos, really clear and well done examples. One thing Id say you could post what materials you use, maybe even links to the place you buy from. And if you buy from place that has affiliate links then you could get some bonus off them.

[@neshco]

Hi and thank you for all your tips and tricks. Can I ask you what kind of soldering station you use?

[@Rottel3D]

What flux do you use?

[@AC-nh7ff]

Hi Mr Solder Fix ... Thankyou for posting you're videos, I have learned many useful tips. May I please ask ... I wish to remove a 'Ribbon Cable' that is soldered to the board. Is there a way to remove, without damaging the cable from heat. Thankyou

[@brianwood5220]

Excellent tutorial and lovely camera work, Thanks Mr. S. One small thing I hope you don't mind me asking. When you were doing the QFP you switched to leaded solder. Any reason for that?

[@mrsolderfix3996]

Hi , thank you for your continued support of my channel , very kind of you . Some boards I show in my videos were originally built with leaded solder and some with lead free . I just try and match what they were built with if I can . Generally if you remove all the original solder you can use leaded as it is easier for hobbyists etc . The lead free I use SN100sb is so good though that I will use that if it was a lead free board . Thanks again , take care 👍

[@dazamad]

Nice video. Was looking back at your videos I thought you mentioned the camera u use. Is it still a mobile phone and some sort of mount? Would love to know. You get a decent resolution

[@DrTimmay]

Out of curiosity, what camera/microscope do you use? Picture quality is fantastic; far better than the generic "blue cube" one mounted on my trinocular mount by far.

[@scottalan5849]

I, too, would like to know what brand flux you use.

[@bryancampbell4604]

What was the cleaning solution you use?

[@mrsolderfix3996]

Hi , thank you for your comment . It's called ULTRASOLVE . I get it from Farnell or RS Components . If I can't get this fluid I use another one called Flux off . I've posted a video on my channel all about cleaning boards and the items I use , may be of use . Thanks again 👍

[@kerbalette156]

Do you solder these using a microscope? I.e. the view that we are seeing? If so then is an angle easier?

[@Pan-Tele-Tron]

I have a large SS PC board with lots and lots of dry/cracked solder pads, many of them throu' pins, not PTH. If I literally flood the board with flux and use my re-work heat gun to melt the joints, do you think the repair technique will work ? I'm trying to save hours of laborious one-on-one tip work 😵 If you already have a short vid' covering this type of repair, then I can't find it ? ... Thanks

[@GaryLabandter]

Thx!

[@Ojhany]

can u show us how to solder IPEX/UFL cables?

[@azarellediaz4892]

Isn’t it more convenient to do the flat pack with the hot air gun?

[@ydonl]

I think he talked about something similar in the last or previous-to-last video. One factor is whether it has a heat-sink pad in the underside.

I knocked a 0.5mm x 1mm capacitor of yesterday. What a nightmare
