Re: Solder pot for toroid leads


 

Roy,
? I use a solder pot. The only warning is that the temperature will need some adjusting for the different sizes and types of magnet wire. If it¡¯s too high, not only does it take off the enamel it also starts melting the wire. The one I have is similar to photo. I tested it and put sharpie marks on the dial for the different gauges of wire. It is also good for dip soldering antenna wires.
It is heavy so as not to fall or be pulled off of workbench. I only bring mine out when using it. You¡¯ll need a piece of stiff card stock to take ¡°sludge¡± off of top of molten solder pot. Look on the interwebs for tips to use one. I bought some Oatey 4 in 1 Solder Ingots on eBay to fill the pot. Hope this helps.?
