What is the best soldering iron for model railways?
It took me a while to find a soldering iron that would work with these, but my preferred choice is the Antex range. The AntexXS25 iron is of particular interest. I use this with a lot of other things.
How does a Weller soldering iron work?
The fixed- temperature controlled iron is called the Magnastat. There is a closed power switch on the back of the tip. When the tip is heated to the temperature of the magnet, it will lose magnetism and the switch will open.
Why do you tin wires before soldering?
Tinning wires before soldering makes it easy to connect the fine wires, and it also makes it possible to hold the wires together. This makes sure that all of the wires are connected to each other.
Can I melt solder with a lighter?
It is possible to heat a piece of metal up to the melting point of your solder. Lighters that work with butane are the best. Candles, oil lamps, alcohol burners, and even open camp fires can be used.
