what do you think of this advice about soldering iron tips?

Well, it's not. Look at the mess you've made.

You're absolutely right.

I was replying to Jack. I thought it should be obvious.

Michele, sweetheart, you can post wherever you want. Grumpy old Java can
just get over it. ;)



Michelle? Oh that Michelle. Right. Post anywhere you want. Could you
post more pics? We can make an exception.

Isn't it nicer to follow a conversation when you get the question before the
answer?

When you open the message body, the first thing that pops up is..... wait,
let me scroll down and read THAT so I will know what THIS pertains to....

and, it is netiquette, from a time when this WAS the internet, the last
bastion of OLD WAY of doing things, the good old boys club, and mostly
because it is the proper way to do it, and if everyone did it, I wouldn't
have a damn thing to complain about!!



Speaking of good old boys, my son landed a 6# walleye yesterday.

" Flux, or worse yet rosin core solder is nasty stuff and should be

I clean and cool the tips with a dip of rosin and solder. Been doing
over 20 years, I've seen no problems. Rosin was a common stained

glass

flux. A number of windows (100+years old) I've restored still had
rosin residue between the leads, with no bad effect. The problem with
rosin, as I see it, is that it is hard to clean and a bit messy to

work

with.

Oh I know it works, my issue is the god awful stench that burns the

eyes

and lungs. It's not mistaken for anything else once you've smelled it

from

an old window. That stuff can't be doing your body any good.

I love the smelland smoke of rosin in the morning.


Personally I love women, but hate fish.... ; )

Earn what? Women? Flux? Fish?

Turkey is where they make Hashish and smoke it in hookahs.



sorry sorry...you don't deserve the blame (this time)...
the raker should have gotten the barbs..

HOWEVER...no one i know smokes hash in a hookah..not in this
country...and not in this century!!!

With appropriate snippage interspersed is best.

Yours is in teal. njb is in red. Looks like color
to me. (If you were using a real newsreader, you could
set different colors to different nest depths as well.)

Done.

Yeah, but some people like to be beat over the head with it.
