Default Use caution when soldering!

Sorry couldn't get a picture of it.


Last night I was disconnecting my ESC for my new plates and when the solder melted the wire "jumped" throwing molten solder into my eye! It left a small blister and now it just feels like I have a rock in my eye. I think it hitting my contact saved my eye some but that contact had a hole in it.



Worste part is I can't even use new plates yet.

RIGHT!!! I had some flick up and hit me in the nose and safety glasses last week!

Soldering is just like the dremel tool.... many don't respect it enough but it's more then enough to ruin your day!

I would have to second this...
Just about two weeks ago I was de-soldering a motor and had solder flip up into my face. I had a small blister about a half-inch from my eye from where the solder burned. I felt really lucky that it did not go into my eye. I now wear safety glasses when soldering.
