Can someone please please help me!!!!?!!
I really don't have a clue with this. I have all the tools and am using solder paste. Could someone please give me a step by step guide on how to do it.
What I've been doing is:
-Putting a bit of paste on the bottom of the cufflink fitting.
-Using a 3rd hand, lining it up and joining it to the top of the cufflink (PMC part)
-Heating the whole lot up with a blow torch (cufflink fitting and PMC part) until the cufflink bit glows red, then concentrate the heat on the join and quite literally waiting to see when the solder melts.
It's ended up disastrous every time! Sometimes the solder will melt and then when I quench it it all falls apart.
Am I doing it right? Do I need to concentrate the heat in just one place or is it right to heat up the whole thing?
Is there an easier way?
Thanks in advance!
