It was still uber white when the stain was rubbed of The color was not permanent that's why it needed to be sealed. For me it looked better than buying cream knobs because the discoloration did justice to make it look old.
What coffee did you use? Serious question
I have stated that there are more bad sounding suhrs then there are good ones.
Donat, it depends on the wattage you want. If yo plan to use it to solder effect boards 30 watts is enough. But if you plan to solder guitar pots 40 watts would be better.
try deeco? any 30W soldering iron will do
30 watts is ok, but I use 40 watts in soldering pots. It does the job more easily specially if you will be soldering ground wires to the pots surface. If you are using new pots 30 watts may be enough to solder on the surface, but if the pots are old, sometimes old lead is stubborn to remove.
things i do when soldering to a pot (ground)- sand the surface of the (new) pot para mas kumapit yung solder- melt some new lead onto the old lead then remove it using a pump
Yup I do this too, but still there are some leads that are hard to remove. Lalo na very old guitars circa 70's and 60's.
Ganito nalang gamitin mo.
May ganyan ako amfoots ninakaw sa Bulacan. Some of my tools were lying around the garage when my Mother-in-Law hired a gardener to mow the lawn. I only found out after a week na nawawala na.I have an old Weller similar to this pero mine is older circa 70's pa and hand me over from my Dad. I also have the cheap standar one which I always use.
Where to buy this kind of soldering iron? Ace and Alexan have big ones. I only need a small one like on the photo.I already posted this on another thread, but I might get different answers from the DIY guys here.
Anyone have a lead on an appropriate tap-and-die set?Can't seem to find any for sale in Metro Manila (except for humongous sets that cost a ton, lol).I need to add end-threads to roundbar stock, to make some truss rods.Thanks
How long did you soak it?In theory, UV bomb should work.
