months ago I bought a cheap china soldering kit in a zip case to repair a couple of things, I've bought 3rd hands, a magnifier, cutters, a silicone mat and all matter of bits and bobs, now I'm hooked to watching your tutorials and ordered a pcb practice kit and have repaired just about every easy thing I can around the place and it's now a new hobby at 64 Y.O. proves you can teach an old dog new tricks. love the vid's keep it up, how about easy kits for newbies that are useful?
Hi , thank you for your kind words and for supporting my channel , very much appreciated . I'm glad the videos are enjoyable for you , hopefully they have proved useful to yourself and others . All I wanted to do when I started my channel was pass on some knowledge of what I had been shown and my different ways of doing soldering . Thanks again , keep soldering 👍
There are all sorts of kits you can buy online … am/fm radio, electronic dice, flashing LEDs.
Have a look at RS components they have a range of kits.
excellent tutorials, structured, instructive and informative, great camera work, overall a lesson in skill and mastery, so watchable, thanks again....

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I really wish I had found your videos three years ago when I started learning electronics on my own. I have fried so many boards doing it all wrong. I tried some of your tips and voila I saved two sensors in about 30 minutes. I look forward to more videos.

Another great one! I find myself scouring through your videos every once in a while while working on projects just to remember some of your techniques. Like the Dual iron method of removing the SMD Electrolytic capacitors. Still dont know why I never thought of that one!
Hi , thank you for watching the videos and commenting , very kind of you . I'm glad you enjoy them , hopefully they can help a few people out . Thanks again , take care 👍
Mr Solderfix, This comment isn't related to the current video, but more general. It's been many years since I had to do much soldering, and back then I was pretty rough. I recently had to do project that was important to me. Small components on a a pcb needed to be put together. Thanks to your advice on this channel, I was able to get the job done and I know that without watching your videos, I would not have been. So thank you very much for helping us all, and please keep up the great work.
Hi , thank you for watching the video's and commenting it's very much appreciated. I'm glad you find my channel useful , hopefully the videos can help a few people out with their soldering / desoldering issues . Thanks again , take care 👍
Hackaday send me here and i think i stay for a while to crawl though the rest of the vods. Really comprehensive HowTo. Even if you've done it a thousand times, you can always learn something new. Still, i use the chisel type tips for this work over the pointy ones (only exception are the pointy ones that are bend at the end). ;)
I just replaced my old synths slider with your help. Thanks 🙏

Your videos are nothing short of brilliant. I've religiously watched them all and several, multiples times. How you spell out how you do what you do and why is unmatchable. I love your titled bridges too: very creative. I also want to mention something that I've never seen mentioned before. I really dig your accent. not so much because I'm some odd Britophile, but I really get bored to bloody tears listening to guys with game show host, cookie cutter voices. I've just grown to feel there's something disingenuous about them. Your intonation and articulation just keep my attention meter pegged. Thank you. Keep 'em comin'!

Hi Mr Solderfix (Graeme), as always great video, I’m liking the fact you use external flux before soldering the component, keep up the great teaching videos mate, I’ve learnt a lot from your content. 🤙🏼🇦🇺 Joe from Australia 🤙🏼🇦🇺
Another great video, full of helpful information and motivational tips and tricks. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hi , thank you for your continued support of my channel , it really is appreciated . All I want to do is help a few people out , if I can do that then that's great . Thanks again for returning 👍
I was replacing some felts in my digital piano and one of those electrolytic capacitors broke off. I didn’t know what it was or how to put it back on. This has been very helpful. Thanks

Awesome love all ur tutorials
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , your support is very much appreciated 👍
Thanks for spending your time to provide this. (Just seen below someone said exactly the same thing !)
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , it's very much appreciated 👍
Hi, Thanks again for another informative video. Please can you advise how you work out the value of the 1206 and smaller capacitors please? When you switch solders from lead free and leaded are you switching fluxes and also solder tips please? Thanks again, looking forward to the diodes and IC videos
Great series mate, thank you 👌
Hi , thank you for your comment and supporting my channel , very much appreciated . Hopefully the video and others I've posted can help a few people out with their soldering / desoldering issues . Thanks again , take care 👍
Another great video. Superb camera work at that scale! I've not done any SMD soldering yet but I'm sure I will need to soon! How do you decide between lead-free and 60/40 solder? With through-hole I've reverted to 60/40 solder as I find it much easier to work with. With 3% flux multicore 60/40 solder I find I usually don't need external flux, whereas it's essential for lead-free solder! Since I'm not doing work on an industrial scale, I consider the environmental concerns of using 60/40 are negligible, so it's just the health risks I need to be careful with, but I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
Thanks! I notice your videos tend to be very strongly focused on the right way to do things; I like that. I also wonder if you could maybe make one or more videos on common errors and mistakes, common issues -- trouble spots to watch out for, and maybe techniques that you don't use for one reason or another; maybe it works, and other people like it, but why you don't prefer it. Maybe "this one bad because ..., this one bad because ..., this one nice!" Because I know for me, there was a lot of "things going wrong" as I was trying to get to square one with SMD!
Thank you.

Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , much appreciated 👍
These are really instructional videos and so well shot! I'm having a lot of trouble finding recommended rework flux in the UK. Like a lot of others in the thread, could you tell us what flux to get? And what solder you use too?
Hi there 👋🏻 thanks for yet another great lesson. I have a question - what hot air nozzle do you use the most - which one or which ones are most practical? There are thick, thin, bent and straight ones - can’t find any info on that so far. Thanks a lot in advance!
What type of rework flux do you use?
Great tutorial thanks. BTW.. which Flux are you using now? As your previous recommended flux is sadly no longer manufactured.
I would like to thank you for a great video. Could you tell me how to use the solder paste? FLUX?
Thank you for a brilliant video. I'm a complete novice and just starting out with fault finding and repairs. I have a Humax Freesat box that's died. Checked power and HDD and all good so suspect its a SMD electrolytic capacitor? Do you have a video testing these in circuit using a multimeter? Thanks in advance
Hi another terrific video, i need to ask advice on you're technique for removing surface mount electrolytic capacitors please. i have one to replace on a small expansion board which fits inside a 90's synthesizer. whether this is the correct way, i thought of adding more solder to each side then using two irons to lift off the cap. At the moment i only have leaded solder, hope this is satisfactory. Thanks once again for all that you do and congratulations on a very informative and entertaining channel, all the best.
Leaded solder and two irons is a great idea. Fresh leaded solder will help conduct the heat through the joints to make it easier to shift. I generally use low-melt or hot-tweezers for these. Whatever you do, don't use hot air as they don't like that at all and will likely explode. (wear eye protection just to be safe)
I’ve really gotten a lot from your videos. Thank you for making them. Question: How are you holding your iron and tweezers? Are your tweezers in your dominant hand or your non-dominant hand? I feel like my hands shake a fair bit more than your’s do and I don’t know if it’s just me, if I need to build hand strength, if it’s how I’m holding my equipment, if it’s the tweezers being too stiff and wearing me out, or something else….
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated . I hold my soldering iron in my dominant hand ( Right hand ) and obviously my tweezers in my Left. I use tweezers that are fairly soft to push together as like you mention stiff tweezers can be difficult . I believe with more practice you become more confident and your hands will become steadier . Hope that helps , thanks again 👍
Make sure you're resting the edge of your palm on something! :). It really helped me when I discovered that.
Self locking tweezers are a godsend for smd rework.
Hi great video thank you for the information I have damaged a small capacitor is there any way of finding a replacement There are no number on it
Hi , thank you for your comment . It's tricky the situation you have , there's no easy way to tell . You can sometimes download the board schematics if they are online somewhere , which they sometimes are . Sorry I couldn't help you more than this . Hope you get on ok and work it out 👍
👍👍👌👌
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , your support is very much appreciated 👍
I sucessfully soldred a surface mount capacitor or I think so but haven't tested it yet but couldn't get it flat to the board so warmed under it, might just remove it and try with pliers or whatever those pinch/grips are called didn't occur to me.
What kind of cloth are you using to wipe up the flux?
I think he said "G-Tech dry wipes"; it went by quickly at 9:24, I think.
I have a monitor with a smt capacitor shorting to ground. What's the best method to repair
What microscope do you use?
So the dark side on one type is negative and the other type it's positive, great bit of consistency.
Hi , yes mate that's the way these components were designed . Only telling it how it is so people don't get caught out. Not sure how to take your comment but how I've described them is the correct polarities for Electrolytic and Tantalum Caps.
@@mrsolderfix3996 Hi I wasn't doubting you for one second. I've been trying to learn electronics for decades (mechanic by trade) my understanding of stuff doesn't seem to improve and things like different polarities doesn't help my learning, again nothing at all negative about you it was just a comment on the people who came up with it.
Hi , no problem , I fully understand your comment and sorry if I sounded negative . Hopefully I've showed how you can read them . If I can help a few people out then I'm happy . Thanks again for watching and commenting, take care 👍
I think one of the important points is that every component with polarity is going to have both a positive and a negative... it's pretty hard to have one without the other! So in a non-existent simple world, they would both be marked. There are different historical reasons for the marks to have evolved the way they did, one side or the other. Electronics and software and other technologies were all a sort of "learn as you go" thing with different people having different ideas about how to manage it. Assume they were all pretty smart, just looking at new sciences differently. I think a good approach is to just relax and live with it. :-) It was hard for them to look into the future; it's hard for us to imagine what the past was really like.
Searching for hour's, at 20:20 there are the small orange ones but above it is a black rectangular 'capacitor?' does it have a name, what do the numbers represent? Thank you
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated . I have gone to the point in the video and above the capacitors the small rectangular black component with numbers on is actually a Resistor (1001) is the value which is in fact 1k ohm , 1,000 ohm . The last digit when reading these resistors is the number of noughts you add on the end in this case 1 . So you have 100 and 1 more nought , making 1000 . If it was a 2 on the end it would read 1002 which is 10000 = 10,000 or 10k ohm . Hope that helps , thank you again , take care 👍
Legendary!
Hi , no problem , thanks for your support , take care 👍
For a non-native English speakers it would be nice if tools and supplies were listed in the text to get them well identified. Otherwise I highly appreciate Your videos.
