Take Care When Soldering.
Soldering can be done neatly if a
little care is taken to learn some of
the pointers that make for efficient
soldering.
The first requisite for successful
soldering lies in the use of the proper
tools.
Either the electric soldering iron
or the gas iron can be used with
success. The electric soldering iron
of a type shown in Figure ! has the
advantage of controlled heat, kept at
the proper point for most efficient
soldering. With a little experience.
however the gas iron can be kept
at the proper temperature by keep
ing the gas burning at the best point
to keep the iron at the best temper
ature.
In selecting an iron care should be
taken not to get one with too long
or slender a point. While such an
iron will reach into tight places more
easily than a heavier iron. it will not
hold the heat as we'll and the result
is that you will often have a cold
iron, not hot enough to heat the joint
enough to cause the solder and f1uX
to flow on to the joint.
In using an electric iron it is best
to use some sort of holder of the type
shown in Figure ., to prevent
any possible danger from fire. The hot
iron is thus placed in a safe place.
where no inflammable material can be
endangered by the heat of the iron.
From time to time as the iron gets
dirty and coated with a heavy film of
oxide it will be necessary to clean it,
and for this purpose you should have
fiat file. Any old file will do.
Use Acid or Soldering aPste.
Besides cleaning it with the file it
is also necessary TO have some kill
ed" acid or some ordinary soldering
paste into which to dip the point of
the iron to clean it off thoroughly be-
fore attempting to tin" the point
The paste which comes in a handy
can is suitable for this purpose.
The best type Of solder to use is a
good grade of rosin-core solder. This
has many advantages over solder
which requires the use of additional
