Re: Poor solderability of old components, solutions?
So apart from the fact the old insert in my fibreglass pencil was breaking up so I got the bits in my fingers, the replacement is fine and worked nicely on one of the components. That and some flux from a pen. Still needed a couple of seconds for the flux to work and solder to take, but all legs now llok well tinned. Unfortunately I have none of the bare boards these are for, so need some more to confirm 100% that its worked but it seems great, thanks all.
