How to Use Marksman Soldering Wire 20g

Materials Needed

• Marksman Soldering Wire 20g
• Soldering iron
• Stand for soldering iron
• Sponge or brass wire sponge for cleaning the soldering tip
• Heat-resistant work surface
• Safety glasses
• Optional: Soldering iron holder or helping hands

Preparation

1. Set up your work area on a heat-resistant surface.
2. Plug in the soldering iron and allow it to heat up. Place it on the stand when not in use.
3. Put on safety glasses to protect your eyes.
4. Prepare the components you are going to solder. Ensure they are clean and properly positioned.

Using the Soldering Wire

1. Once the soldering iron is hot, clean the tip using a damp sponge or brass wire sponge.
2. Hold the soldering iron like a pen, with a steady grip.
3. Touch the soldering iron tip to the joint where you want to apply solder. Heat the joint, not the solder wire.
4. After a few seconds, introduce the Marksman Soldering Wire to the heated joint. Do not directly touch the solder wire to the soldering iron tip.
5. Allow the solder to flow and cover the joint completely. It should be shiny and smooth.
6. Remove the solder wire first, then the soldering iron, to avoid creating a cold joint.

After Soldering

1. Inspect the soldered joint for any issues. It should be shiny and well-formed.
2. Turn off the soldering iron and allow it to cool down in its stand.
3. Clean the soldering iron tip before storing it away to prolong its life.
4. Store the Marksman Soldering Wire in a dry place for future use.

Safety Tips

• Always work in a well-ventilated area.
• Avoid touching the soldering iron tip to prevent burns.
• Be cautious of fumes released during soldering; consider using a fume extractor.
