How To Make Soldering Iron Wire At Home

Then make two more bends near the center or loop of the first bend as shown in the video so the wire looks kind of like a z.

How to make soldering iron wire at home. Use a good conditioned soldering iron. Too much or too little flux will cause problems with the solder attaching to the parts. We will use the remaining 20 for wielding.

Now attach a long wire with the iron rod the cover the iron rod with a paper and tape it. Do it as shown in the photo. Attach one end of the heater nichrome wire about 0305 mm diameter near the sharp end 3 and start winding it over the insulation to make the heater resistor 4.

In about 4cm roll the insulator over the copper tip. When soldering there are a few. Make a heater resistor by attaching one end of heater nichrome wire of 03 to 05 mm in diameter and winding it over the insulator.

Use liquid flux on the bare wire terminal. Then add a tiny bit of new solder to the wire. Once the flux starts bubbling you can begin adding solder.

The heat will transfer from the iron and into the wires so the flux turns into a liquid. To make your own solder you would need a foundry to melt the copper and tin and specialized extruder to create the wire evenly and WITH a rosin core and a way to coat the solder evenly in flux a dip bucket just outside the extruder would probably do. Hold the soldering iron against the bottom of the splice to heat the flux.

Make sure that the wires to be soldered are perfectly clean. Cut the wire in a moderately smaller size and put wire insulations around 80 of its total length. Apply it with a small and clean brush wherever you want solder to stick.
