Can this be used for soldering??

I have not try it yet, but it is similar to the copper foil I use to make stained glass windows. I wrapped it around my flower pots to prevent snails from going over the pots and ruining y plants. The adhesive is very good quality and strong.

Possibly for something like stained glass but not on its own. No structural stability. To thin.

It's used in conjunction with copper soldering wire. Copper tape requires the use of 50/50 solder and 60/40 or 63/37 solder to prevent drip through. The 50/50 solder tin coats the seam while the 60/40 or 63/37 solder will create a raised-bead seam.

I would say yes, as long as you sand of the metal, if paint is on it, to ensure the soldering is applied. Be careful as the soldering tip is extremely hot

If you never soldered, I would not recommend doing that. The kit is relatively easy to solder, and it's doable, but most likely you will need to calibrate your hand on something simpler and the basic kits are inexpensive. As a beginner, the hardest (and funnier) part is to troubleshoot the kit and when I started assembling it, I had one bad solder at the first section. Have fun!

It should work perfectly for that. Make sure you use rosin core (flux core) solder, and keep your tip and the wires very clean.

There should be no problem doing that. You should tin the wires, solder, to prevent them from unraveling.

I have this exact unit, and use it daily for soldering audio cables. It works for any type of soldering, not just SMD work. It's a great unit for the money.

Not a kit... no soldering. You can make an enclosure for it or the ready-made one. It's ready to use.

No. Just an excellent soldering station. Great for smd rework. This is what you're looking for http://www.ebay.com/itm/SuperChief-250-Resistance-Soldering-System-/251424893524?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash;=item3a8a176a54

I would say the tip is way to big for the small spots you would be trying to melt. Also i don't know it the heat range is high enough for even low temp solder. I use it to apply to shrink wrap to solder wires

This heat gun is NOT for soldering or de-soldering. This is a heat gun. It would be better used to heat components to see if they were heat sensitive, or to use the blower setting to see if they would react to being cooled. Actually the best use and I sense the gun was designed for, was as a heat gun, is to heat shrink tubing...It has two temperature settings and really is able to point the heat only where you want it to be used.

Not yet. I don't use them for soldering. They are to hold plastic parts for building model kits for my railroading hobby. In looking at them, they look to be made of nylon base material. Not sure the melting point of nylon, but I would guess a solding gun or pencil could melt them.

No, it doesn't generate enough heat to melt solder or even pinpoint like a soldering gun. I see the other guy said it would but I still doubt it. You should take a piece of solder and hold the heat gun on it and see if it will melt. This will answer your question if you don't believe my answer.

The solder requires a heat source to cure. It will dry up, not cure, if left out exposed to the air. It won't dry up that much overnight it should still be curable.

No. It's 60/40 (Pb/Sn) resin core solder, used for soldering electric components. Lead free solder doesn't work very well for electrical soldering because it has a higher melting temperature and doesn't flow as well into a joint. I actually use a very thin (.025") resin core solder for my circuit board work. If you do use solder containing lead, just make sure you use it in a well ventilated area. Lead free solder is used for copper plumbing and such, and you have to clean and flux the joint before soldering. Hope this helps.

I used it for changing Ipod's battery, and soldering on that was tiny and delicate. It worked quite well. Only thing is you will have to wait for a few minutes after connecting to allow it to heat up properly. Good Luck.

I've never used it for that. Being the temperature the tip gets to I wouldn't recommend using it to touch anything that can not handle an immediate increase in temperature. We have mainly used these for soldering resisters, capacitors, etc to circuit boards where we mainly are extremely fast with contact on/off the metal part of the competence.
