I personally love the smell of solder and it isnt that bad for you now that most are lead free.

@Keebio Ай бұрын

Lead doesn't aerosolize at normal soldering temps, it's the flux that smells

@MusangLaut2 Ай бұрын

those are flux fume not lead, they are toxic do not inhale

@jacobgaysawyer337 9 күн бұрын

The metal that you're melting is also extracting fumes. It's extremely toxic and there isn't enough emphasis on it in any of the videos that I've watched

@Keebio 9 күн бұрын

The fumes generated are not from the lead, it's from the rosin in the flux.

I have an unlubed prebuilt keyboard that I want to desolder, lube, and resolder. Are you saying that for that I should apply more solder so that it’s rounded and covering up the pin? This is my first time. So because it was a originally prebuilt I apply that extra solder whereas if it were not prebuild I would not do that? You said it’s for encoders? What are encoders? Thanks so much

while I was removing the switch the Annular Ring (that silver circle that surrounds the port where the pins come in, came out while I was soldering, how can I fix it??

Anymore with fine components I don't like using a desoldering tool, it was fine when I was just soldering motor wires for radio controlled cars, but these days I tend to use de-soldering wick. :) p.s. love my Iris rev6

@Keebio Жыл бұрын

We use de-soldering wick from time to time! It's pretty nifty too. So stoked you are happy with your Iris Rev. 6! Cheers!

while soldering does solder damage the pcb

@lunaumbra5179 Жыл бұрын

Why is a round solder joint too much? What's the downside?

@Keebio Жыл бұрын

It's difficult to know if under a rounded mass of solder if the joint between pad and pin is properly made and provides a reliable electrical connection

@korone609 8 ай бұрын

one important detail that seems to be missing everywhere is what temperature to set the soldering iron to. The recommended tools page only points to temperature controlled irons, but doesn't include a specific temperature to use. Any suggestions?

@Keebio 8 ай бұрын

Depends on the solder you use, but for 63Sn/37Pb we suggest 350-360C, and for lead-free, 400C
