climate control soldering
 

before I attempt this...

Does someone have a good writeup. I am sure there was one floating on the web-but I cannot find it today.

I had just removed the bottom plate and was going to do the clean, flux, and remelt the solder. Then post clean with alcohol again.
One of the pins looks a little melted- pin 12 on the tempture dial side. It's got loose solder above the board somewhere.. I'd like to take it apart further and remove FOD.

Thanks for the suggestions...

I build my DAC for my stereo.. not perfect with etching boards, but I've got a nice temp controled soldering iron.

I use alcohol to clean-which will disolve resin(rosin?) too. For flux, from my military and NASA friends, I was always under the impression that they didn't allow stronger flux than RMA- and that's what I use.
Ussually get the temp on the iron right and 3-5 seconds is all it takes.

Still looking
