Consider using a thicker gauge for cleaning the tip periodically if you’re using especially thin solder. It also helps the solder spread out (reduces surface tension), transfer heat, and acts as a protective blanket to keep oxygen away from the metal until solder displaces it.įor the most part, manufacturers include a sufficient amount of flux in the wire, but if you use an extremely thin wire there may not be enough to clean the joint OR the iron tip. Flux is basically a weak acid that removes oxides so that solder can adhere to the metal, and is so essential to the soldering process that it’s built into the core of common wire-solder. The solder should be thin enough to prevent accidentally applying too much (and causing a solder bridge), but thick enough so that more doesn’t have to be gathered from the coil too often.īesides affecting your feed-rate and convenience, the solder thickness also relates to the amount of flux that is delivered. Unless you have reason otherwise, don’t use “no-clean” solder–it’s very likely that you don’t need to clean the regular rosin-cored solder. *Next day delivery is not guaranteed, it's a delivery aim.As a starting place, for most small electronics soldering, 1/32 inch (.03) rosin-cored, 60/40 (tin-lead) or 63/37 solder should work fine.
