#2 Main Tool for the Shipmodeling - Soldering Iron

[@CaptRD]

Whoever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks has never seen one of your videos. I've been around soldering irons a lot longer than you have, but you have taught me a number of useful things that I can use in other applications.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

But I definitely do not know the intricacies of working with this tool as for real soldering electronics - I was just looking for something HOT for modeling))) and later decided to try to do lighting...

Як завжди просто супер!!! З насолодою передивилась кілька разів. Дякую за прекрасне відео!

Señora, tengo casi 30años de ser técnico de electrónica, enfocado en la electrónica de computadoras, hago muchas soldaduras finas, pero su arte y creatividad me ha gustado muchísimo, le felicito, técnica y precisión exquisita, ya tiene otro suscriptor, apenas empiezo a ver su trabajo. Seré un humilde aprendiz, saludos desde Costa Rica

that clamp on the solderion iron, the moment of revelation for me, thanks for the video :)

Another top-notch how-to video from the master-modeler. Thank you. I have been busy applying coats of stain to my modest little kayak boat model every day for a week or more. I am taking my time with it. It is the seventh boat I have built. I took a break from more complicated boats just to do this small kayak.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Wow - that's amazing!

Excellent presentation Olha. Nice to see the different uses of the soldering iron. Absolutely love how you show everything including your tricks to pose the iron when using it, I mean the clamp on it so you have some feet. Great job as always, and I do admire it.

Hvala!

[@donaldsmith2242]

I've never seen the practice of cutting off small pieces of solder then applying them. Great tip, I'm going to try that this weekend, beats having to use a third hand tool to hold things while you solder.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

I'm glad you found useful information here! My husband has such a "third hand" but I think it's faster to do it with tweezers)))

[@александррав-щ8э]

Отличное видео. Благодарю

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Всегда пожалуйста!

[@twelverules176]

I’m not quite clear why you’re heating the wood already placed on the hull at 11:12 with the soldering iron and then using the scraping tool? Can you elaborate on this part? Thanks very much.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

To steam the planks and heat the glue - to fix it in the correct position...

[@archi9084]

Благодарю за очередное полезное видео! Прошу, если олучится, выпустить видео об изготовлении коушей. Thank you for recurrent useful video! Please, if possible, release a video about the manufacture of thimble eyes.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Всегда пожалуйста! Я обещала ето видео уже больше года назад, но как обЬІчно все упирается в деньги - мне осталось еще купить тонкие фрезЬІ и коекакой инструмент, что б наладить их изготовление...

Bonjour Je suis impressionné par ta technique. Et je te remercie de partager ta science avec nous. Quand tu utilise le fer à souder, tu n'as pas peur de laisser des marques de brûlures définitives sur le bois? Vers 12:08 tu utilises une pâte jaune . Est ce que c'est du mastic pour boucher les petits trous dans la coque? Je ne connaissais pas toutes les utilisations de cette outil., Grâce à tes vidéos je sais ce dont j'ai besoin comme matériel pour commencer. Bonne et belle journée

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Merci! C'est la première couche de planches, même si vous brûlez quelque part - la deuxième couche de planches la recouvrira. 12:08 voici la colle Titebond 2, elle ressemble beaucoup au PVA mais a une couleur jaune... Le mastic peut être utilisé comme, par exemple, pour les voitures, mais certainement pas celui pour le bois. Parce que le mastic pour bois peut simplement se décoller avec la deuxième couche de planches... PS Désolé pour la traduction google.

Bom dia! Gosto muito destas apresentações sobre o uso de ferramentas. Nos ajudam a fazer os melhores usos. Grato.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

O prazer é meu!

[@peterhiggins3329]

Is the purpose of gluing the ply and plank then applying heat to soften the edge of the ply with the plank (12:20)?

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

The hull is radial and this piece of plywood did not want to take a radial shape without a soldering iron)))

[@denny1111]

What kind of liquid you use before soldering The parts ? I did not understand that part.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

That is a Liquid Flux for Soldering

[@DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

Thank you for this, Olha. I am just beginning to use soldering in ship parts and electrical work. What do you use for flux, that clear liquid?

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you! Yes, that liquid is a "liquid flux"...

[@joaobatistafrancisco2772]

Olha, what blue product is the one used to transform metals aged in the 7'13" minute? And congratulations on your skill in making your props. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

This is Brass Black. It is transparent and only in contact with non-ferrous metals becomes blue from a chemical reaction...

[@ciano217]

Can I know the name of the pink liquid that you use for soldering?

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

This is a Liquid Flux for Soldering. I added a link to Amazon in the description under the video, because KZbin blocks comments with links...

[@ciano217]

Thanks👍🏻

[@juanmanuelalbareda7768]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@bobvines00]

Olha, after you solder the metal parts & fittings, are you using some kind of "bluing" chemical that works on copper, brasses, _and_ solders too in order to darken the finished pieces properly? I wouldn't have remembered that solders would darken like that, but now I can remember my Dad using something to darken the lead on his stained glass. I also like your idea of using a larger soldering iron tip to help speed up the wood glue drying time!

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you very much! Yes, that is BRAS SBLACK - this liquid evenly blackens all these metals...

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

@@OlhaBatchvarov Thanks, but I can't afford to access that level of video at my level of retirement income, unfortunately. But I'll still look into using Brass Black! ;)

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

@@bobvines00 I show it all the time in my videos - you just have to look for where I'm blackening something in my videos. And yes, that's why short and fast videos with specific information in the section for channel members...

[@peterhiggins3329]

Olha, you say you use liquid flux but could you be more specific. I come from the world of model railway where I build brass model locomotives and one must be careful of the type of solder and flux used as solders can have varying melting temperatures and fluxes designed to suit. Some of those fluxes though are quite corrosive and if not washed off immediately will cause problems with adjacent materials and wreak havoc on painting. In most cases the parts need to be thoroughly washed. Hence the question about the type of flux as it appears you use regular electronics solder though is it fluxed core or not? is it lead based? I also note that you chemically black some components before soldering. Perhaps and explanation to some modeller as to why you do this would be helpful: i.e. for soldering joints where movement is still necessary - blackened parts not accepting solder regardless of flux and heat.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

I know that this flux (Tinning flux liquid) is used for making stained glass, that's how I borrowed it for the first time from my friend... I heard that railway modelers avoid flux at all. But I always blacken all my details and everything always works (I think Brass Black washes away all the remnants of the flux well because I've never had any problems with it). Sometimes when I forget and blacken before soldering, then this process requires a little hotter soldering iron and everything works again...
