for anyone viewing this picture who is thinking of learning how to solder, don't hold it there, thats the hot part.
If you smell burnt chicken, you're holding it wrong!
not true when i got it out of the drawer the whole thing was cold
Speaking from experience: you do that one time and then never again.
lmao yes
Like never again that week? Or... What's a normal amount of time for that?
About an hour before you are cleared to try again.
I mean I learned my lesson.
I have very little soldering experience, but every once in a while at work I have to use a soldering iron to install heat-set threaded inserts into 3d prints.
The little machine that controls the soldering iron only has a power button and knob, and no indication that it is heating up or hot or even working. Each time I use it I convince myself that it isn’t on and have to test it. And each time I briefly consider using my hand. It’s always super hot.
It not only gets hot, it rapidly gets hot. At my university, it takes a couple of minutes (2 or 3) to reach the Max temperature of 800°F
To check if it’s hot I always just poke it into the wet sponge to hear the hiss. It’s also a very satisfying noise.
I always poke it into the person sitting next to me to check if it's hot. Their scream together with their sizzling skin and meat is a very satisfying noise too.
Like the other guy said: use water!
we got a soldering iron with a flashlight in the handle, so when it's hot it's bright
You can tell by the charred parts underneath her fingers.
You're a coward if you still have feeling in your finger tips
You’re a coward if you can still feel emotional pain after plunging that hot iron into a tangled mess of lead solder, inhaling deeply, and drifting off into the sweet, sweet embrace of saturnine bliss.
Is that also how I learn about trickle down economics and pulling on my own bootstraps?
You’ll certainly be drooling, so I guess that counts as trickle down, but I very much doubt you’ll have shoelaces. Velcro straps will be much more suitable for where you’re going, weeeeee :)
