[RockDragon]

As many of you are new to handle the soldering irons, I need to mention about this warning that is very serious and it's a must do to prevent the after effect that may occur to the human body.

I saw the lead warning though.. Are you serious? :lol:

Paint used to have lead. Gas had lead. Everything had lead! Most people were fine.. :lol:

[SR5Dave]

As for the fumes... I've breathed in acid core solder. Didn't hurt much. Not reccomended, but I'm not too worried

hey worlds fastest sport compact is a honda

 

[dabid]

Who uses acid core for rc stuff? If I remember right, most manufacturers say to only use rosin core, which is what I use.......good old Radio Shack 60/40 or whatever on a giant spool.

 

[SPEED_RACER]

there's acid core soder that's lead free.the rosin core hads lead.must have a rough time soldering wire with acid core unless your using it for pipes

 

[dabid]

Well, no matter what kind of soldering you do, it's not like you hover an inch off your work just so you can suck in those glorius fumes.........at least I don't.

 

[RSI]

i doubt that the worlds fastest sport compact is a honda because they are slow untill you put allot of money into em.... eclipse cat run low 14 high 13's stock...

it's not really a honda. is a tube chassis with the block off a honda with a fiberglass honda body

 

[TwistedCreations]

Did you guys just not read what i wrote :? get back on topic!

 

[RSI]

[badhoopty]

i recently ruined about 400 bucks worth of subwoofers with flux. i was soldering the speaker wires to the leads and somehow dripped a tad and it rolled down the cone and onto the surrounds. ate big ol nasty holes in them that werent noticable until a couple days later...

so dont pull a hoopty, keep that flux off the surrounds kids!!!

:evil:
