How To Make Soldering Gun

Lets get it started.

How to make soldering gun. Unlock you front door and clear a path between it and your work area. I bought a Weller model WP25 for PCPC back 17 years ago and they use it almost everyday and it still works. Because to solder something properly you need to make contact with the part youre soldering.

Separate the wires on the cut end for a couple of inches. Touch the solder to the tip of the iron and make sure the solder flows evenly around the tip. With this you would be dripping melted solder onto the project.

Weve been using soldering Irons for container holes for years. All you need to do is applying hot air to the solder paste. Cut the wires to the correct length for your plug and cut away the insulation to about 3 mm from the end.

Similar to the soldering iron the soldering gun is also electrically powered. Once a soldering iron is used on plastic it mucks up the tip anyway making them useless for soldering so buy a cheap one for dedicated plastic only use. Twist the wire round.

Theres typically a solder tip and a plastic handle involved in a soldering iron. Given the short stout design of a normal soldering tip one being made of high strength alloy steel like a masonry nail Vs an all copper tip the thermal conductivity difference would be negligible. The first variant involves placing the tip with heater inside a metal pipe after inserting some ceramic spacers 2 at the extremities.

The device must create a stream of hot air with a temperature of up to 800 C with a heating element power of at least 25 kW. The high strength steel alloy on the other hand would also have superior oxidation and corrosion resistance over the soft copper at the normal temperatures that a soldering gun works at.
