EDIT: THE GIVEAWAY IS OVER. THE WINNER HAS BEEN SELECTED.
You guys are really in for a treat with today's video. I did an hour long interview with Randy Rubinstein of SRA Solder (
www.sra-solder.com) about all the stuff you beginners are doing wrong when you solder. And yeah, Randy has been doing this forever, so the pros will probably learn something too.
OH BY THE WAY WE'RE GIVING AWAY AN $80 SOLDERING STATION.
If you're using typical 60/40 solder, you should be using something else. (Hint: THIS IS IT
http://www.sra-solder.com/rosin-flux-core-solder-63-37-032-inch-1-pound-spool)
Is rosin-core solder sufficient, or must you use flux?
What temperature should your iron be at?
Is it mandatory to clean flux residue from a board?
Can you get lead exposure from solder, and should you use lead-free solder?
WE WILL ANSWER ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS. And give away an $80 soldering station to boot.
The soldering station we are giving away is:
