Nice video. In case you often do such board scraping repairs to retrace, i highly recommend fiberglass scratch brushes. They are very good to "scrub" off the solder mask layer without a high risk to dmg the copper trace beneath.
good vid you really need a new soldering iron though the tip is awful lmao doesn't even get wet with solder its making the job 10x harder, you can get hakko t12 clones super cheap and the ips are great or even something like a pinecil is good too bothy super cheap
You don't need to go to 400°C, in fact it can work against you, because you have to clean the tip more often as it degrades faster. If you can use leaded solder, do that. But you should be able to stay at most at 350°C, more often 300°C, and keep that tip nice and shiny with no need for cleaning. At least that's my experience using a TS80 for 5+ years.
@@tenns I use leaded solder but I also use a cheap soldering iron 😂 Honestly I'm just too lazy to change the temperature often and swap out the tip for another cheap one once it's buggered 😂😂

I do like when the video I'm hoping to see pops up on my home feed. That's some fine work Sir. 🤘
Cheers Mike! At least you can see what I'm doing this time 😂

Thanks for the info! I must get myself some of those brushes

@@NO_obs I know, and you're right. I have a habit of sabotaging myself with no real explanation for it. I'm my own worst enemy 😭
