Basic Soldering Tips
Note: The process of “tinning” the soldering tip is helpful to insure a good soldering joint. A tinned tip has a thin layer of solder applied to it and is free of solder flux. “Flux” is the chemical contained in most solder wire which helps to clean the area about to be joined. When purchasing solder check to see that it contains flux or else apply flux to the joint area as directed.
1.Set Craft Iron to Hi (II) and wait until Ready to Use Indicator shows solid “RED” indicating iron has reached desired temperature.
2.When working with small pieces, use the 3rd hand grippers to arrange the 2 pieces being soldered so they are in contact. Insure that the material under the grippers is heat resistant and will not be harmed by any excess solder. For larger pieces, insure that your workpiece is resting on a heat resistant surface to avoid heat damage to a table. etc.
3.Wipe the tip on the moistened sponge to remove old solder.
4.Touch solder to the hot tip to just coat or tin the tip.
5.Hold the soldering tip against the larger workpiece near the joint area. The objective is to heat the 2 work pieces until they are hot enough to melt the solder. In stained glass work, lightly touch the tip of the iron to the copper foiled seam.
6.Hold the solder against the workpiece near the joint, but not touching the soldering tip.
7.When the workpiece is hot enough, the solder will flow into the joint.
8.Remove the Craft Iron as soon as the solder flows.
