- For a scripted, and more concise video on soldering techniques, please check out my Beginner's Guide to Surface Mount Soldering Video here:
• Beginner's Guide to So...
In this live video I'll be going over the soldering equipment I use and demonstrating some of the techniques I use for soldering different types of components.
Had I known this livestream would get so many views, I probably would of cut down on the jibber jabber.

This vídeo is proof that we need to learn from technicians that also post on CZcams instead of CZcamsrs that pretend to be technicians. The difference is that you can easily talk for 2 hours with no time wasted in fluff, Just straight up info, as oposed to stretching 2 minutes worth of content into 10 minutes for the algorithm.
Whats the algorithm? (In 2 minutes or less)
Thanks for sharing your precious experience about soldering. Soldering seen from outside looks like a child game: Just get the hot soldering iron close to the electronic component and the trick is done. But as a matter of fact, that's not that obvious, particularly when micro-soldering is concerned. It's very well appreciated. Cheers.
I’m new soldier thank you so much 🎉
15 viewers live to over 137k views 3 years later! Big congrats on that and thanks for the content!
Thank you! The success of this video was very unexpected. Maybe it was the Batman mask?
Since leaving my job ive got into doing electronics and repairing things, im at the soldering stage now, so very informative for me. Thankyou
Bravo Partner, bravo. Cheers from Texas
Late to your channel. Love your teaching style. I've developed an interest because of my son doing electronics at high school. So I am on a learning journey because of my piqued interest. Thanks again. Hope to be able to join when you are live 👍🏼
Knowing you from future videos then seeing...this start...what a shocker 😂 GG WP
I learned a lot from this video. Thank you.
An old video, but so insightful! Thank you…
If I had you as a teacher in school !! Great job !!
Thank you! 😃
Very nice and good teacher
Thanks for a good evening on this subject... 😂get some sleep, ready for the next session...
Brian;I'm so glad I found your instruction videos,and I'm looking forward to seeing all of them. So far I've watched pt.1&2 of basic soldering and a few others.
I was a auto mechanic but now I'm pursing electronics since I've always understood electrical theory
I have a strong desire to fix and design. Thank you so much my friend.
This is the real Solder Mask.
Best Regards.
U have been a Blessing I,ve learned from watching u , now I'm sordering on motherboards LED lights you name it I love to sort I'm good at it thank you
Thank you for you in depth instruction , covering the basics for a beginner like me. Thank you One Ozie to another.
Holy Masterclass, Batman!!
Thank you Bruce! Your videos are a real education.
This was amazing to watch.
True story! I was literally shooting content for my own channel when the ac jack on my laptop decided to break, the rest of the way. Lost all that footage, but what I did find was this AWESOME channel. I finally got the old jack removed, and I feel much more confident that I'll be able to solder on the new one when it arrives, hopefully tomorrow. Thanks man, I appreciate the great tutorials!
Bless Up Brother 🙌 MUCH Thanks Batman
Helllllóoóoo first timer and going for the longest running watcher I took basic electrical in high school I was there for 1 month and then I came back 3 months later and the teacher asked who I was I said that I went for lunch at the pub a half block away and got lost I did injoy it but I was not allowed back one thing I did learn was that LED lights were going to be in the future but it would take a long time for people to accept them that was back in 1986 I also learned how to make a circuit board I have forgotten that and now I have an idea for a project and I need to make a small circuit board I'm very happy to have found your site
Your kind of "hovering" technique while applying flux onto the smd pads and then appling solder onto all of the pads in a row at once in such a quick and easy way is something i never saw before. Thanks for showing us your experience and sharing your knowledge with us. I like your explanation videos very much because you are very charismatic and explain your technique by showing us various examples where you get straight to the point and even give us some recommendations and tips along the way. Thank you very much! :)
Extremely boring??? not a chance Sir! I have learned so much watching your vids! subscribed!
You are genually a great teacher and person , hopefully you will do another stream , the one that you mentioned at the end with newer motherboards and repairing them soon . I'd personally like to see tearing a cpu or an integrated video chip . Greetings !
Hello from Santa Maria California
Hello!
Hi there from Brisbane- great site. I am starting to get into guitar pedal building. It is a sharp learning curve- but your advice is priceless- thank you so much.
massive amount of wisdom and experience in this. Thank you very much!
Loving the super informative video! And that 2hrs felt very much like a 20min video. I'm trying to learn soldering and has close to zero experience doing it. Your videos has definitely pique my interest and hope that it'll be a new found hobby that i could do mini projects out of it. Looking forward to more of your soldering/electrical videos!
We need an update !
Thank you for your time and knowledge. I've been taking this info in like Neo in the Matrix.
Thanks for a great video, very educational. Trying to learn soldering, very helpful.
very informative taught me alot especially where i was making mistakes
Excellent stuff!
Great Vid, keep doing them.
Really enjoyed the video 👍 Im a fellow Aussie and complete beginner, found your channel while searching for tips to get started. Went back through your catalogue and found your video for beginners which was exactly what I was looking for.
Thankyou for the tips your delivery of information is spot on and I've subscribed to the channel, I will be watching all the videos over the coming weeks. Some advice on what iron to pick up to get started would be much appreciated and what websites you recommend to buy from would great. Thanks again mate 👍
same.
Very informative, thank you.
that key is for factory uses i think. they lock the temperature workers use so they always follow production standards
That was my assumption, but it still seems a bit mean.
I just ripped two fat dabs of cherry pie live resin, and I'm loving this. Man, I used to think I was hot shit installing mod chips into the original xbox consoles for friends. Some of the motherboards came with two empty spots where 2x32mb ram could be soldered, but I never had the balls to attempt that shit. Anyway, thanks for the entertaining stream, bro.
The 128mb RAM mod is something I definitely want to try doing. Nice to see another fan of the original Xbox. Have you seen the recent XboxHDMI mod by MakeMHz? The install on that almost looks easier than the RAM upgrade.
love the batman cowl :) you looked awesome :) and I was thinking this exact thing when I heard your name for the first time :) well done Bruce great fun to watch :)
Thanks
Thank you!
Great video, Bruce. Thanks! I was wondering why my solder connections were SO DANG CRAPPY. Now I know. Flux. Lots of it. Judging from this video, I will seek a 1 liter tube of the stuff. ;-) Oh, and I'm using one of those fine-point conical tips. Getting a couple thicker flat and wedge tips, too. The pins on those components were pretty large (2-3mm spacing). Do you ever work with really small pin components? Things like a USB-C or USB-micro adapter, where pins are 1mm apart. Same process? Flux, drag solder... Different tip? I can't imagine using that fat tip on such small components. Thanks again!
Great work! I noticed your a fan of the gel flux as well- out of curiosity, what flux remover do you like?
I use either isopropyl alcohol or MG Chemicals flux remover for spot cleaning. If the board is completely covered in flux after doing major repairs, I use an ultrasonic cleaner with a solution specially designed for cleaning electronics.
Branchus Creations Sounds like we have similar taste in flex remover too! 😊
I do not, however, have “... an ultrasonic cleaner with a solution specifically designed for cleaning electronics” and I’ll admit that I am a bit jealous. 😜
Great work sir thanks.
You have to love Bruce Wayne very good strategy by the way, I don't celebrate Christmas but Mary soldering techniques it shall be, thanks
Nice tipps - thanks for that but I have a question. What do you think about using a T862++ / IR6500 / IR8500 or some other IR rework station? They should be even better working for chips like that.
For sure, those machines are great for BGA rework, but they cost a bit. I'll probably get one someday.
@@BranchusCreations A T862++ cost less then 200 USD when you import it directly from China. I have one and I really like that I can pick up the chips very easy and solder them back directly with the old solder. I use that often for ROM-transfer when I do a PCB swap on a HDD.
Thx for tips and yes very well mate 👍👏👌
Nice video.. how do you get rid of the green stuff on top of the traces/tracks and how can you repair broken ones?
I know this is late, but hes reviewed this recently. Basically he scrapes it off with a blade and then uses flux (Lots and lots of it), as well as solder and new copper to repair the traces.
at 1:08:52 you talked about the flux. I just picked up(before watching this video) some Rosin Flux Paste by Thermaltronics. It says its good for electronics. I just wanted to know what you would have to say about it. Its a completely different color than the Flux you show not use in the video. Also great video/stream
Do you cover plastic welding as well? I'd like to see one of those in action (by you). thanks....
thank you brilliant really enjoyed the lessons the greatest thing is to know
. ps i found your volume level to be a bit low.i suppose it made me listen more keenly.
I haven't heard you mention in any of your soldering videos about tinning the tip before using it....is it something to be done or not? Nice videos
How do you fix an accidentally loose or removed metal pad? Also, how to solder two wires together without melting the plastic coating?
Thanks, mate 👏
@Branchus Creations what is the purpose of mixing solder with your flux as conpared to just using the flux and copper wire to clean the plates?
I'm working on a project for the first time and would appreciate your feedback. Thanks
Yea, that interface looks a bit silly, and the key thing too, but the colour branding kinda makes sense when you've got hot stuff around to be bright...
I've got an Hakko FX901 as my portable one that's a 4 AA job (400°C with NiMH rechargeables and apparently 600°C Alkaline!!), which whilst I'm careful, (and the cleverly designed cap witches the power off) I kinda like the bright colours for safety...
My base station, well, I'm not so concerned because you usually put it back home between solders....
Great video though. Thank you :)
Hey buddy, great learning technique, so happy to have watched this video, I’ve subscribed to your awesome channel.. Keep up the great work…
P.S 450* Celsius = 842* Fahrenheit

I have a 95 corvette with ecm in need of a reflow on ecm. This is something new to me and to top it off board has rubbery conformal coating and the ecm is made of unobtainium. I know it can be saved because it works intermittently. Any knowledge shared will be greatly appreciated
I have a pin missing on my arduino uno 328p. I had to remove it to use it as a programmer and when I went to put it back in I broke one of the pins. I havent figured out what it is attached to but I did have an issue programing my attiny85 with my uno and switched to programing it with my arduino nano.
Great videos
Im trying to learn how to repair ic chips for iphones. I can remove the ic chip with heat gun. When i go to clean the board with the solder gun i end up removing too many pads and i cant get the solder to stick to the tip? For flux i use RMA-223 volume 10cc on the solder wire 0.08 grade YF-11. What am i doing wrong?
Hello Sir, I would like a recommendation for a good microscope, what characteristics should it have?
Hi there and great video!!! Could you do one on hot air work station please!! Thanks!!
I am trying to find the temp used for the hot air, when removing components.
I have a hot air station and tried using it around 380⁰C but the solder wouldnt soften, so i ended up using the iron at about 350 and rhat worked just fine.
Hi Batman, I see you replacing round shape capacitors with the rectangle shape one.
I am trying to recap my camcorder. it's full of the round sharp surface mount cap.
Should I replace them with rectangle?
Please advise
In the video I am replacing surface mount electrolytic capacitors (round ones) with tantalum capacitors (square ones). There are a range of reasons why I do this, but if you're not sure about what to use, it's probably just safer to replace with the same kind.
@@BranchusCreations Thanks for your reply. Could you demonstrate how to replace the surface mount electrolytic capacitors (round ones), please?
Using the same way to replace them?
Well done
Why do you recommend not using rosin Flux? What does it do to electronics that you don't like?
Beautiful job, where are you located?
I just bought 5 different things from amazon and been watching your videos to learn. Im a landlord just trying to learn new things, so I invested 115.00 for a soldering and disoldering combo station, flux, and 3 more things to start. I was wondering if the solder is worth anything that I get from the disoldering. I have alot of boards with gold and etc. Can you give me any kind of suggestions..And I have subscribed
buy hakko fx951.dont buy 3 in 1 rework station such saike auyoe etc that just kind a shit.buy that and u will end up buying another after 3 month
I’ve a precision gold a55kj and my tip doesn’t seem to get hot I can see the glowing core but alas not enough heat. Any ideas? Tip may not be from the right iron??
Hi Batman, What temperature should I use the clean the pad?
That really depends. I use a very high temperature (430ºC), but I wouldn't recommend that for beginners. If you're using leaded solder, try somewhere around 350ºC.
@@BranchusCreations thanks Batman. btw I like the batman mask.
@@BranchusCreations 430 about how much time!!? Is it safe temperature bro. You say lead iron?!?
excellent vid, thanks!
at 1:01:20 "and you got led on your hand, so you should be wearing gloves exactly like I'm not" :-D
the good ol' prinicple - do as I say, not as I do
can someone tell me , why at 1:04:04 to make solder nice first if need to remove them later???
Just had ago at trying to install a Jimmy Page wiring harness in my Les Paul Standard and umm yah, wish I could hand it over to someone like you. Let's say, there's a few issues. Gonna have another go..I think or find someone to pay, ha.
Bruce. Why didn't you open up the broken station and redo the board?
It's a while since I recorded this. Which station?
@@BranchusCreations it was just an old soldering station that you were showing on one of your basic soldering courses.
@Fishin Bob I'm pretty sure it still works!
Hello sir, can you please offer a little guidance on how I might fix this? My dog chewed it.
Thank u!
It's works...nice
why do you have capton tape on your scope camera?
The camera is just a bit too loose in the holder, so I use tape to hold it still. Why kapton? That's what I had nearby.
Can anyone please tell me where I could get a soldering station that I can change the tips even if it's hot
Love the video. But where did yoy get that mask. I want one!
Thank you
You're welcome
I'm here to learn
Say is there any way you could show me how to fix the power plug to a speaker?
Very helpful video. I am curious why you are repairing 30 year old computers?
It's sort of become my niche repair business. Lots of people are getting their vintage computers restored so that they can enjoy old apps and games they played when they were younger.
Jeff - Do a quick eBay search for "1984 Mac" and you'll see there's definitely a market for repair work like this. Highly doubtful that you can walk into an Apple store with a 36 year old Macintosh and they'd be willing to repair it, so we must learn for ourselves!
@@italianbasegard I guess my question is why you would want to use a machine that old.if it's for nostalgia there are emulators.
@@jeffjorczak Why do cities mark areas as "Historical Districts"? Why do we try to preserve the pyramids instead of tearing them down? It's to preserve history.
Also, idk if you've ever tried to play a playstation game on a playstation emulator (any other emulator seems to work fine instead of PS1) but the experience is terrible and nothing like the original. Sometimes it's more functional to go with original hardware.
@@italianbasegard Exactly. On the note of PS1 emulation, it’s kind of the same with the original Xbox. Except, there’s not a good emulator for it really at all almost 20 years after it’s release. The only way to experience a lot of the games is on the console and a lot of them nowadays are starting to need repairs.
There are some sick people out there😱
I knew it! You ARE Batman!

Is alcohol better than acetone?
Fishin Bob Acetone can do some terrible things to plastic, so I wouldn't recommend it.
