[QUOTE="Mister Joshua, post: 63873, member: 2281"] Did you use a heat sink? When i deal with small, easy to burn stuff i usually attach a hemostat or something like that between the solder point and the burnable stuff to absorb some heat. That way less heat from the iron makes it to the component's valuable part. Also 40 watts is kinda hot for transistor or capacitor work. If you can get it, i recommend a variable temp iron. Or get both a 15 watt and 30 watt. 30 watt and up works good for grounds and the like but the 15 works better for smaller solder jobs like pots and caps and transistors. And yes silver solder is not the best for fine, low temp solder jobs. I'll agree with you fully on that. Peace, Joshua [/QUOTE]
