@@MeatLeBeef - that works to part it, but it can leave a little kink, or sometimes a split in the metal (so it's bifurcated), which wouldn't fit into the type of IC socket that Clive's using.

[@jpolowin0]

"Standard" sewing pins and needles are generally regular steel plated with chromium or nickel, in my experience. They're somewhat resistant to rusting unless the coating is broken. If there's, say, a scratch, and the item is in a damp environment, you get rapid corrosion at the scratch. The entire plated area acts as a cathode, and the exposed steel is an anode; there's an electrochemical effect. You can test this by nicking a pin or a needle with a file, and placing it on a bit of tissue that's been dampened with salty water. If the pin or needle hasn't been plated at all, but is entirely non-stainless steel, doing that will tend to show corrosion preferentially where the metal has been most mechanically disturbed, i.e. the pin heads and points. The metal crystals there are most distorted from their lowest energy states, so it's energetically favourable for those atoms to escape in preference to atoms in other parts of the items. Stainless pins and needles *are* findable, but I've found that many that are labelled/advertised as "stainless" are in fact just regular plated steel. The sellers are counting on people not bothering to check, or not finding it worth the trouble of complaining. The reason for using stainless, of course, is that one wouldn't get corrosion even if the surface *is* scratched.

No, the oxidation is likely to darken the surfaces more. It's the bleaching effect you're going for with 'retrobrite'.

[@robertlapointe4093]

Might be worth a try, although I would start with something of low value. Discoloration of plastics can be caused by the generation of conjugated double bonds (beta-carotene is a famous example of a highly colored compound with conjugated double bonds: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-Carotene ). Ozone is particularly good at destroying double bonds (see ozonolysis: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozonolysis ). However, if the double bonds are part of the plastic, then the ozone will be chopping up those polymer chains in the plastic, which may result in the plastic becoming weaker and more brittle, as with natural rubber.

[@Cassandra_Johnson]

@@tbelding Since they use hydrogen peroxide, I am pretty sure the oxidation reaction combined with the UV IS the bleaching reaction.

[@StrategyYouDidntKnow]

Photo catalytic conversion into ozone is preferred method while regulating out the nitrogen and other contaminants.

Be sure to get machine pins which have appropriately sized holes as there are quite a range of sizes. Most are intended for small IC legs, while others are large enough for DIL header pins.

I laughed pretty good at the intro, long live Garage 54 comrade!

[@TheSlyMouse]

Would love a comparison between needles and carbon fiber or other materials maybe compare their output per watt over time

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

Good to see you complying with right to repair Clive ;)

[@bigclivedotcom]

More like "right to make our own stuff".

[@wowcolors]

What ozone meter is that?

[@bigclivedotcom]

A generic Chinese unit by Dienmern.

At some point Clive do you think you could do a video where you basically give us a master list of all the handicraft tools and consumable supplies you recommend for both actual soldering but also for making PCB's? I have tried to keep up over the years but it would be massively helpful if you could basically provide a shopping list. It would be a real antidote and dose of reality in contrast with the insulting pie-in-the-sky nonsense we got when eeVBlog did the same thing in the past. I have been away from electronics for a couple of years now but having finally managed to get decent solder again am raring for another crack at it.

Was having a bit of a troubling day, Sir, your shocked baby remark was exactly what I needed. I think when a funny remark kind of comes quite unexpected, it is even more funny and clever. I appreciate you so much. How thick are those pcb's? They look thicker than any hi volume boards I've come across in recent memory. And your perfect consumable needles/socket solution looked and sounded sturdy and secure.

[@bigclivedotcom]

Standard 1.6mm laminate.

[@rimooreg]

Std 1.6. Hmm. LOokEd thicker. Did they come with those beautiful edges and radiii? Almost had a ceramic sound when boards clicked your bench or each other.

If the baby withdraws its hand and cries, it's normal. If it instead reaches in for another zap, it's One Of Us.

[@VeteranVandal]

@@markfergerson2145 one of us. One of us!

[@alexmarshall4331]

G'morning Clive and all TOVARISCH'S out there!!!

[@MrDbone75]

Good Monday evening to you sir from Wellington Somerset

[@nogravitas7585]

Mk.2 suggestion for those paranoid about lead: stainless steel washers as the grounding circles. Pros: improves serviceability, can be bought at most hardware stores Cons: people can now be paranoid about breathing in trace amounts of chromium

[@SeanBZA]

Just order the PCB with ENIG gold flash on it, will last about as well, so order a few extra.

[@mickward01]

First and I didnt know you used voice over from BMI 👍 Good stuff though and that's a nice build project. Now I want to make one myself

[@bigclivedotcom]

I was just spoofing Garage 54. Although I did just get approached by a company that does translation and voiceovers for the Chinese market. I'm not sure they'd be allowed to watch my videos.

[@first-thoughtgiver-of-will2456]

I wonder if you could make a dimm grounding plate like the ionic breeze but all PCB with gold fingers? Awesome project thank you for sharing!

[@kirkb4989]

Per Buckaroo Bonzi, should it be an "Ionic Overthruster"??
