Hi All
I have linked below an article that appeared in an Element 14 newsletter.
It is interesting reading for those interested in soldering or those that would like to get interested. that should mean just about everybody.

Of course Element 14 are highlighting some products they sell ut the general text could be applied to any product.
Good reading

Good read!
The section on different tip types and their applications is especially useful. I tend to just stick with a conical tip as it’s what comes supplied with most soldering stations, but I may add a few different tip types to my next restock now that I know what they all do.
Thanks!

The theory write up is excellent.

Hi Gerard
Yes, it is a pretty good read
Theory and practise generally dovetail quite readily if the theory is interpreted correctly.
In this case quite a lot of instances occur where situations differ from the “ideal”. I think this is where operator experience comes into play to achieve a satisfactory outcome.
Experience can only be obtained by practise.
As I have emphasised on several occasions lots of actual practise cannot be replaced by words.
I mean continued practise. Not a couple of joints that “look pretty OK” and stop there. It can become a natural operation.
