  • I have had much, much better results by just dipping the tip of the wire to be soldered into some flux. Then touching the tip of my tinned iron to the wire for just a couple of seconds.

    I do that while melting some solder onto the part (or just touching the bead of already molten solder that's on the tip of the iron), and I get complete coverage of the wire or lead being soldered.

  • I was gunna say: YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG

  • @moxee33

    you can but the copper to aluminium connection will cause some heat

  • can you solder copper wire with aluminum solder? does it conduct as well as copper? I am repairing a connection on an angle grinder that keeps shorting out.

    TY

  • You don't want to put solder on the iron and then scrape it off. If may look the same here, but for PCB joints, it will not make a good joint. You have to put solder directly on the joint.

  • ...What's the problem with putting the solder on the wire directly again? The result looked the same to me.

  • Thanks. Do you know how to solder tin sheet metal to itself?
