I just purchased a Hexacon 948 solder pot (which is set to reach 800 degrees F - no other temps are possible) so I can both tin my wires and burn the enamel off some Cardas wires I have. I've never used a solder pot so this is uncharted territory for me.
I already have a roll of Cardas Eutectic solder and I was planning on just melting this into the pot. Is that correct? Or do I need some special type of solder formulated for solder pots?
So is this the process?
- Melting solder into pot
- Dip exposed wire into rosin flux
- Immerse wire into liquid solder for a few seconds
Any help would be appreciated. Thanx!
