I can easily lower the heat. I’ll put it back to around 375. I’ve been using this Kester “44” 60/40 solder and that’s the recommended temp. I’ve been using a pointed tip but it’s swappable for a larger angled tip which I have.

Previously I was just using this 40 watt WLC100 Weller with no temperature indicator. I think I was routinely using it at the max which I realize now was wrong.


Thanks. This is all a learning process. Although last week I was watching the tv Show FBI - the terrorist was soldering up their device - I recognized my Weller as the soldering iron they were using - truly I am a radio nerd.
