In fact, to make solder paste for the needs of ham, it will take not so much effort, time and ingredients.
To make solder paste we need:
- Tin-lead solder bar;
- Vaseline is medical. Used as a thickener;
- Gumboil LTI-120 or other liquid.
I will make of these components. And ideally, it is better to take:
- Tin-lead solder bar;
- Solder fat. And if you find "active fat", then it’s generally beauty.
How to make solder paste?
The whole process is unusually simple.
We start by grinding the solder. I took a thick tubular piece and began to grind it with a file, a file and a mechanical nozzle for a drill. What you will use is up to you. But I am for mechanics, since manual labor is too long and painstaking.
The smaller the crumb, the better. A small amount is required.
Then we add petroleum jelly in a 1: 1 ratio and a little bit of LTI flux (these two ingredients can be replaced with solder fat).
Mix everything thoroughly.
For better stirring, the mixture can be heated in a water bath or an ordinary soldering iron, reducing its heating to 90 degrees Celsius.
Next, for storage, we transfer the resulting paste into a syringe with a thick specialized needle. Or no needle at all.
On this paste is ready to use.
Solder paste test
Put a little paste on the soldering place and solder with a soldering iron.
Everything is soldered very carefully and practically without stains.
What fluxes and solders do you do? Write in the comments, I will be very interested. Thank!
