G+_Justin Egan Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Ok, so I need to replace a motor on my X5. Simple enough right? But I'm new to soldering. I understand the technique. My question is what kind of solder to use. Flux core? Resin core? Etc..... Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 flux and rosin are the same. Yes that. (electrical dept, not the plumbing dept. plumber's solder has a much more acidic flux) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Eddie Foy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Yeah, pops worked for Ma Bell. Had some solder bar stock. I got a lot of cool things to play with as a kid. (those 45 volt batteries had their way with many caps, little motors and anything else that had smoke hidden inside them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
