How To Make Homemade Soldering Wire

Twist the wire to hold a straight shape.

How to make homemade soldering wire. Pull the copper out the side of the slit and cut off the excess insulation. Take the copper tip 1 a piece of 710 cm of 345 mm diameter copper rod and roll the insulator over it on about 4 cm. For soldering radio wires you can use solders in the form of thin rods with a diameter of 2 mm.

Run the tip of the solder on top of the wire so it melts into the wires. Run the solder over the entire splice so it can melt and travel into the gaps between the wires. Cut off any bullshit on the end of the wire.

To make your own solder you would need a foundry to melt the copper and tin and specialized extruder to create the wire evenly and WITH a rosin core and a way to coat the solder evenly in flux a dip bucket just outside the extruder would probably do. DangPro shows you how to create your own solder flux. Too much or too little flux will cause problems with the solder attaching to the parts.

Make a slit starting 2 inches from the end of the wire all the way to the end. Group and tape the power ACCY and ground wiring together. Pull a small amount.

Remove the soldering iron. Pour in a glass or ceramic coffee container. You can use more vinegar than water.

And now you just made a solder wick from a piece of copper wire you can use it as the usual solder wick. If needed apply a. For more picture go over to my website.
