Great tip once again as this demonstrates to what I refer to as the proper "time, temperature, airflow, and overall technique" in regards to successful rework, not heat per se. Keep up the great vids! This technique even works well with connectors on flexcable that I've had to use several times at my shop.

I'm struggling to get the solder sitting nice and neatly on the pads when doing a similar task. I'm using leaded, plus flux, plus a bent tip. I don't, however maintain contact with the board like you do and move in circles. Is that the secret or is it more? Thanks in advance for your help. I've subbed by the way 🙂 Ed
@TheArtofRepair
@TheArtofRepair 3 жыл бұрын
The biggest thing it seems would be that you're not transferring enough thermal energy into the board, go back and watch through my 101 and 102 playlists, I bet you will knock it out of the park. The short answer though is that you need to use the biggest tip possible for the joint at a proper temp, if you need to turn it up for a specific job. sometimes you gotta do that. I usually try to work as cold as possible, while still maintaining control of my work. You can always keep adding heat, but if you turn it up too high you can't take the heat away and you can damage pads if you're using an iron. Also, another secret, add hot air in your other hand =) it will augment the board's temp overall in that area so that it cannot absorb the heat from the iron as easily. Hope all this helps. good luck in your journey FTLOG.

Sounds to me like u need more flux and not enough thermal transfer from your iron to the pad one way around this is to use a bigger ball of solder on the tip = more surface area and mass to transfer heat to the pads , Myself i use preheater you also want to make sure there is no corrosion on the pads

Are the pads highly oxidized? If your getting some but not all they could need a little scratching on top to clean off more oxidation. But as Cormac said as well, might need some more/better flux as well. Did you purchase an iron set or just specific tips?

@@TheArtofRepair some of that pads seem to be oxidising quickly when trying to tin, but I believe that's down to the poor quality flux I'm using, I'll have to get a better quality one. As far as the iron goes, I have a thermaltronics t9000s, I have a couple of different sized chisel tips, will have to invest in some other types too.

Question when do you preheat a board before hot air
@hxhdfjifzirstc894
@hxhdfjifzirstc894 2 жыл бұрын
When the board will suck the heat out of the part you're trying to work on. If the board is already pre-heated, the part will heat up quicker. If you don't pre-heat, all the heat will keep going from the part you heat up, into the board... and the part won't heat up properly.
