Solder staligtighs and staligmights

Jun 16, 2008 1 Replies

When soldering, sometimes I will have a small piece of solder that seems to string when using resin core 60/40.



I have cleaned the tip using fine emory board, but these still occur.



Is there a way to prevents these, as it is tricky to repair when using a solder wick as sometimes it will "suck up" more than I need.


You might be using a tip temperature that is too low, or you are using far too much solder on the joint, or you are soldering for too long on a joint, allowing the solder to oxidise.
