John, Here's what I use..... * Ersa iron with the pointiest tip they do. * Keep one just for electrickery. * High silver low temp solder. (From Ngineering via EDM) * No clean up flux (also from

John, It’s the temp the iron runs at as it’s a normal iron that I use for electrical work so I’m guessing around the 400’C mark. I’ve never temperature tested the normal iron as I have

Thanks guys. I would also appreciate some advice on what temperature to use

Hi John, I use a normal 18watt antex iron and some lead solder with a resin core to solder the wires. I personally don’t rate the silver/tin stuff as the silver gives varied results. I only stay

Careful with heat and I use liquid flux for dodgy soldering...that will not to leave the iron the wire too long... Do the wires that you are trying to solder have a waxy film on them ?? They must

I'm in the process of re-chipping my K1 with Zimos and am hitting a problem I often have, which is cleanly soldering fine wires.? I have an ERSA temperature controlled soldering iron with a variety

Thanks Geoff. I've also heard it's got to NZ. That's?9 days to get to both Oz (14 last time) and NZ (same as last time). Best times ever, and hopefully usual from now on - but we are very much in

Arrived in Portarlington, Victoria, Australia today!

Paul, Can you tell us the brand of ultrasonic cleaner you use? Rod Hutchinson Mooroolbark Australia

I find that after the first application of Casey's Gun Blue, just give the areas that haven't taken, a quick rub with a glass fibre pen, then re-coat. It works for me. The finish can be a bit uneven,

So the final sequence went ultrasonic with Ambersil solution at 60 degrees 20 minutes then rinse? Birchwood Casey dip then rinse? Further 20 minutes ultrasonic then rinse? spray RS degreasant at

I've said earlier that I grit blast. Then I wash the grit off, I usually use Tesco All Purpose Cleaner. Then I ultrasonic the model, again using TAPC. What always amazes me is that I still get some

Casey’s Gun Blue isn’t very good for blackening n/s, their aluminium blackener works much better but still isn’t perfect. I am told that it is n/s that is the problem, sometimes giving excellent

I tried an ultrasonic cleaner after my wife got in trouble for using the one at her work, it didn't give anywhere near the same result. I have tried grit blasting but had the same result as others

Dear Paul, Having tried a Badger abrasive gun myself, many years go - I can vouch for the general uselessness they offer. The slightly more sophisticated Paasche unit is little better. For model

Hi Roy and Frank. Thanks to both, I know we visited this topic a few years back! ?I bought a cheap unit from EBay and then a Badger mini sandblaster and the aluminium oxide grit after our last

Paul, Degreasing using an ultrasonic cleaner should provide a suitable surface on brass or n.s for blackening after 20mins - unless the metal is badly tarnished. I don’t use Casey’s Gun Blue

Paul, I use a grit blaster. From Machine Mart, smallest cabinet they do. Grit, finest I could find on e-bay. You need a compressor, mine was either Aldi or Lidl, very noisy but about ?60 a few

I’ve had my US cleaner a year now but not really got to grips with it. Am I expecting too much for a 20 minute clean on 60 degrees to be enough to get a chassis clean enough and decreased to take a

Just had record timings for first arrivals in Canada and USA!
