Re: OMG HK Solder? On many applications where the unit produces a lot of heat silver solder is used, try the micro torch. On the other hand if you use regular solder to make the connection the unit could generate enough heat to unsolder it. |

Re: OMG HK Solder? Make sure it's not acid core that's usually found in the plumbing section. Resin core is what you want. CTC carries it, Also The Source. |

Re: OMG HK Solder? I read and found out the hard way, that HK uses leadfree solder on a lot of their stuff. I found, as said above, tinning it with good old lead type fluxcore makes life a lot easier. |

Re: OMG HK Solder? It's often very difficult to get solder to flow after it's been applied and sitting for some time. I find adding some fresh solder to the cold joint makes things flow and desolders a joint almost immediately. This has always worked for me. |
