with reagrds to magnification glass I have got a cheap 3x one which barely makes any difference looking through it... What is the best magnification for such a delicate task?

In fact tomorrow I'm will be going to look for a good stereozoom microscope hopefully it ll be much easier

And does the soldering iron suck being 1.2mm tip? And what do you prefer for this task conical or chisel tip?

Thanks once again for all your help

@unitedforhelp My solder past has flux in it, if yours is a bit dry them flux it up a bit. You do not need a lot of solder. If you still have solder on the pads then that will aid the process

As for solder tips I use either a needle tip or narrow flat tip. I get less bridging with a needle tip.

I use a Weller variable heat solder station....WMD3 set at 380c

[unitedforhelp]

As I said the problem is that the solder iron has got no temp control but it goes up to 400C with regards to the tip it is about 1.2mm...

Is liquid flux sufficient? If not what difference is between the gel one, and liquid/pen driven flux?

[offmains]

@unitedforhelp the gel flux does not evaporate as fast as the liquid.

I use a liquid flux most of the time, I only use gel when I get a bridge.

First of all many thanks for your video it has thought me a lot of things.

However I have some questions regarding the soldering of the new connector...

When I try to solder the new connector the solder paste sometimes it ends up going on inside the conenctor resulting in melting the plastic body of the connector and when I try to amend the solder back it starts to bridge with the adjacent connections.

Could you please advise how bridging could be removed?

With regards to magnifying glass I

[offmains]

@unitedforhelp what size tip are you using and what heat? do not use too much liquid solder. If you get a bridge try cleaning your tip, add some gel flux to the bridged area and drag the tip away from the joints.
