I my iron shoes 400 degrees in the display but somehow the pads/wires don’t heat enough to melt the solder.
It’s really weird. Maybe I messed up the tip somehow? But I just got it a few days ago!
- StavrosK 6y agoWhich iron is it? Maybe it's miscalibrated? Does the solder melt if you touch it to the tip?
- konschubert 6y agoIt melts. But only at high temperatures above 300. Even though the soldier is supposed to melt at 219. The iron is a LONOVE 925 m.
- konschubert 6y agoMaybe I need to try tinning the tip again.
- StavrosK 6y agoYeah, sounds like it. Make sure the tip is tinned when touching the pads so heat transfer can occur more effectively.
- konschubert 6y agoI’ll need to watch some videos. I tried running but the solder always drips off the tip and doesn’t stick ️
- StavrosK 6y agoHmm, sounds like you need more heat, hot solder likes to run up metal surfaces and stick well.
