krow113 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 No worries. Lots of info on the links. Its pretty easy to do , keeping soldering tips and the area ,parts etc clean is a good idea. Also I clean with lacquer thinner , right after it evaporates flux , then heat/solder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Kucaba Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Homosote board is a good base for doing most of your soldering. I believe it's available at most building supply stores. The T-pins stick in to it quite easily. Thanks for showing us how you do it Steve, now if you'll just put your full name in the signature line as the forum rules state things will be just fine.

Pete J. Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Tutorial on soldering is rather basic. It would be a lot like posting a tutorial on gluing and Krow113 gave you the basics of soldering. From there it s all about the engineering of the pieces and careful cutting and fitting. If you want to get some ideas then I suggest you check out three other threads on this web site. They are: Another Super 7 by Mark Jones Adventures in soldering: Hotrod wrecker project update 7/24/13 by Randy D and if I can also suggest my own thread,Converting the Red Barron to the Black Knight Any of these shows the step by step process of assembling the different parts that come together to make interesting cars.

Roggan Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) What temperature is needed to solder with a soldering iron? Edited January 3, 2014 by Roggan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Check the new issue of Model Cars Magazine guys! Charles Rowley (whose scratchbuilt trucks and fire apparatus have become legendary) wrote a great article on soldering brass--lots of pics and easy-to-follow text.

Modelmartin Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 The biggest thing is to sit down and DO IT! That is how we all learn. Soldering is simple. Clean the oxidization off, apply flux, heat and dip the solder in. Or pre-tin the parts, put them together and apply heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
