Hi Vince,

Thanks!

Regarding "right soldering iron", then I'm guessing a lower wattage for smaller jobs (circuit board work) and greater for larger (general wiring of connectors etc)?

Cheers,
Mike

Mike,

The gauge of the solder is not at all critical as the right soldering
iron. The spool of solder I use say "44" rosin core. A very wide range
of solder gauge will work just fine. Just be careful not to over heat
the PCB or else you may lift the trace.

Hi All,

A question for the Electronics Guru's: what gauge solder do you
recommend when replacing vanagon LED's?

Thankyou,
Mike
