    Dear fellow SSM brothers...in my quest to learn how to solder photo etch I have come across a product called "solder paint". I assure you it will make soldering a breeze, even for beginners like me. Basically it's a suspension of solder you just brush along the joint and then apply heat with the soldering iron. The joint is fused instantly and is extremely clean and hard wearing. I will be bringing some to the club on Thursday 2nd May, God willing for those interested in seeing how it works...

    Cousin Alex BB was so impressed he ordered 3 jars ten minutes after he saw the method lol Twisted Evil

    Well, for Alex to order 3 jarts in such a short time after he saw it in action, no one need any more proof lol! lol! lol!

    And welldone for your QUEST to learn to solder, might come in handy when mending Fradal tal-Facendi as tomato seeds tend to rust & may cause some HOLES lol!

    Soldering Photo etch Empty No...

    Post  Dottore Fri Nov 15, 2013 11:08 am

    I just paint a line of solder paint on the joint...use a cotton bud to clean up the excess paint and make it neater as much as possible (personal preference) and apply soldering iron until it boils AND SILVERS. Than i blow on it for a second or two to make it set and clean up with a fibre glass pen...

    Hope this helps...
