Soldering pad outside of abestos where did they go?!?

Hi Folks, I've got a project to solder and every time I make the attempt stuff moves and I am REAL over re-doing this. Granted, it has been a while since I did this, but back when I did I had an asbestos pad that you could use pins to hold the parts while you soldered them. I've spent the last two days looking for something similar with absolutely NO luck. All that I can find are hard pads which are the equivalent to the the carbon block I have. Tried the "helping hand" thing and that doesn't work out well either. What do people do now that asbestos pads seem to be evil :-)? Thanks, Chris. Hi Chris, I don't have much trouble soldering parts together unless I'm fusing wire onto at large piece. I then use a soft firebrick with stainless steel plush pins "t type" and wire. If you are having trouble with one particular piece it may be that it is a metal other than silver, for example titanium, which requires an argon chamber to keep out the oxygen. You could nickel plate the contact points first and then use hard solder to braze it together. All the best. Mike |
