[edit] 1 handed working

Yeah, that safety measure suggestion is found in the Boatanchor FAQ which I used as the reference. If you can find any reference that has a more modern spin to it, feel free to include it. - LuckyLouie 23:53, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Soldering

Thanks for the editing you did recently to the soldering entry. I've been working on it for months and got it looking pretty good, but kind of ran out of steam lately. I'm actually an EE, and have never been to a soldering class. I've learned what I know by reading and practice through the years. It's clear you're much better educated about soldering than I am, and good to have you looking things over.

One comment though. I still maintain that it's a good idea to introduce any extra solder that may be needed from the opposite side of the joint as the iron. I do generally wet the tip of the iron before applying it to the joint, which makes for much better thermal transfer to the joint than a dry iron can provide. On small parts (0603 or smaller or thereabouts) that's enough solder to do the trick, provided as you say you hit it quickly before the flux deactivates. But on larger parts, or even on small parts with lots of copper underneath them (which slows down the heating up process), I find it necessary to add more solder, and I always add from the opposite side to be sure all the copper is adequately heated up.

[edit] Multimeter

Thanks for identifying my incorrect statement about multimeter fuses, I didn't consider the issue that much when I was doing a rewrite of parts of the article. I would appreciate it if you could take a look at the article for any thing else that that needs fixing up and fix it or put it on the talk page. --Adam1213 Talk 13:37, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
