help with soldering corally's..
I was really struggling on soldering corally's until a genius pm'd me the folllowing:
easy way to solder
1. make sure iron is "big enough" ie heat is not lost through tip when in contact with connector i use a 60watt mains jobbie usually
2. drill 4mm hole in small lump of wood (to hold connector (male ) slightly larger for female !
3. put connector in wood apply tip of iron to SIDE of connector feed solder into "bucket" (cupped end) until melting
4. make sure wire is tinned (covered in solder)
5 reapply tip of iron to side of connector again to remelt solder in bucket feed wire end into molten solder remove iron should solidify in few seconds
Works a treat!
Have fun.
