What is a Soldering Gun?
If you are interesting in making handmade jewelry or building computers and other electrical components, learning how to use a soldering gun is a worthwhile endeavor. A soldering gun is a tool that can be used to join various metal components with a melted tin-lead fusible alloy. The user must manually regulate the temperature in a soldering gun by holding the tool’s button until the solder melts, then releasing until the solder begins to solidify. To solder, place the tip of the soldering gun directly against the area to be soldered and carefully apply the hot solder to the area where the soldering gun touches the metal. Only apply the minimum amount of solder needed to set the connection; excess solder will run into the other components of your project. Never blow on the hot solder or try to use the connection before it is completely cooled. This will create small fractures in the metal joint and weaken the bond between pieces. If a soldering connection has been done properly, the so
