This looks like a good idea, but is the wire getting hot enough? Does the rosin work to dissolve the oxidization on the wire when the solder is being melted and sucked in by surface tension, as opposed to being melted by the wire directly? I could conceive of the rosin all ending up on the surface of the blob using this technique, not touching the wires.
- Zobat 4y agoI'm guessing you really should (primarily) heat the wire in the final stage. With rosin core solder you should (my assumption) get a good joint as the pad is already "wetted" by solder and the flux in the solder should make sure you wet the wire enough. Haven't tested this so do your own verification.
