Please do not buy lead free solder, because you will struggle. Buy leaded solder, and cored with flux so you dont need external caustic flux. This from an elecreonixs engineer od 40 tears experience
I kind of agree with you, leaded solder is way better, but health and safety you know.... These days, the lead-free solder seems a lot better than when it was introduced. Possibly more due to flux improvements rather than the solder itself.
Great video and very easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. I invested in a antax iron with a silicone flex its a godsend compared to my old stiff cabled iron .
Yes - I have an older one with a stiff flex and it can be a pain.
good helpful vid must get some of those crocidile clips
You should
“Knackered” 😂
You need an iron with a temp of 400deg to use lead free solder. Antex iron will not be hot enough. So use lead solder much better.
