what do you think of this advice about soldering iron tips?

Dunno Dennis....if it looks like smoke and smells fishy.... Come visit our shop and we'll demonstrate high speed soldering. No problem. Any of the crew here can do it. All it takes is a little practice to get used to soldering faster - then you can dumpster all your 700 tips - unless you're teaching - they're still okay for beginners. You didn't say "high speed soldering". You said "twice as fast" Jack |

You didn't say "high speed soldering". You said "twice as fast" Jack Actually, he made the claim that a 900F tip was 4 times as fast as a 700F one. Next, he'll be claiming he has a 1600F tip and, thus, has eliminated the need for foil, lead, and solder. He'll just be "speed fusing" and if you work fast enough, anealing won't be necessary and the profits will soar. He'll be sold out clear to the next millenium in classes teaching this revolutionary idea. What a guy! |

I'd even go all the way to Canada for the class!!! |

Despite what any manufacturer tells you, most original tips will never need to be replaced. The iron will be dead before the tip goes. IMHO Unless, of course, it is a 900F tip, then all bets are off. ;) If used daily, a 900 Weller tip will only last a few months. Regularly replacing them is a small price to pay for the huge time savings. I figure an 800 tip solders at twice the speed of a 700, and a 900 at twice that speed. Some artisans don't care how long a job takes - others like to expedite the work to accelerate the income. Maybe, no probably because you dip your tips in flux. I use only water, and I have tips that last for years. -- JK Sinrod www.sinrodstudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com |

wrote in message oups.com... Soldering iron tips should be kept cleaned and tinned. Regularly wiping them off with a wet sponge or damp cloth will keep them clean. Although some recommend against it, ******we routinely clean our tips by dipping them into liquid flux while we're working******. That's why your tips get thrown out so quickly. -- JK Sinrod www.sinrodstudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com |

wrote in message oups.com... but when operated with a low flame and used carefully is exceptionally good at soldering lead seams on still vertically installed leaded windows. I suppose you can also demonstrate your anti-gravity device to keep hot solder from running downhill on that vertically installed window? It's use is demonstrated in our repair/restoration classes. Classes? Classes? You mean it takes more than one five minute session for you to teach what you know about repairs? Bwahahahaha! |
