Uncovering the Secrets of the Soldering Pot

Unlocking solder pot of Soldering Pots
Soldering pots are indispensable tools for tinning wire leads, pre-tinning small electrical parts and dipping small circuit boards. They're also great for salvaging high pin count leaded components from scrap PCBs; but without proper care they could quickly be damaged through overheating or contamination if left unused for too long. In this article are provided some key tips that will ensure maximum use and durability from your soldering pot.

After each use and at regular intervals, it is essential that your soldering pot be thoroughly cleaned in order to eliminate excess solder and flux residues, in order to prevent buildup of dross (residue) and maintain an even internal temperature within your pot.

Avoid using the back of a soldering pot as a grounding point for other components in your guitar, as doing so exposes copper on that portion of its back to excessive heat that could cause it to oxidize and short out your heating element.

If you must solder to the back of a pot, it's wise to rig up clips or other means that will securely keep the wire in place. Simply heating solder pot machine until a small pool of solder forms on its back can quickly overheat and burn yourself or your workbench with excessive heat; additionally a blob of solder that remains on too long could oxidize and become difficult to remove during clean-up time.
