So I purchased a nice big beefy 140 watt soldering gun to finish up my soldering with. With almost double the wattage it should heat up and melt the solder twice as quick!
About 3/4 of the way through soldering the backboard the gun died. Cheap modern crap! So this time I purchased both a new gun and a little soldering iron.
After about 1/.2 hour of soldering, my new gun died.....dammit!
I was looking at the label, examining the manufactures info when I noticed a tiny statement:
It might be hard to read, it says "Duty Cycle: 1 min on, 4 min off"
So basically it is supposed to only be turned on for 1 minute at a time and then must cool down for 4 minutes before it can be used again!
I'm not sure what kind of soldering procedure that would work with, but it sure doesn't fit mine. Fortunately I also purchased a soldering iron. Slow but steady for me from now on.
