Soldering tips and tricks to
make your job easier
There are two types of solder:
Lead based and lead-free. Lead solder has a lower melting point but contains a harmful substance called lead. Lead-free solder has a higher melting point but may not be as easy to work with. Solder comes in different diameters, so choose the one that matches your project. For thicker wires like 12 gauge, use solder with a larger diameter.
