Soldering questions.

Re: Soldering questions.

Most guys and techs I talk to never use heat sinks for solder.
I have tried the bulb or solder sucker but it always get sclogged and the desoldering braid never seems to do much or enough. :smack:

Time to call the tech!

THanks so much guys...I may give it one more go.

I'll try one more time. I'll use a bulb and desoldering braid to try and remove the older solder. I'll sand a little and maybe use some flux on the back of the pots. Do you have to sand the terminals also? I always use a spong to clean the tip so I'll keep that up. I am determined to not have to rely on a tech though so we'll see. You guys rock!

i've never had to sand the terminals, but there may be pots like that out there...
