Excellent - now (relative) pacifists like me can play with guns with a clear conscience! |

You get a croissant, though you can't eat it til you've washed the flux off your hands. |

In the meantime, any good ideas for a solder-sucker that doesn't smack your workpiece really hard due to recoil? |

For a good solder joint, the item to be soldered should be hotter than the solder itself. Laws of thermodynamics would seem to make it difficult to get such a result with a solder gun. |

Build it with double triggers. One controls a flame tip that heats up the joint. The other trigger helps ooze warm solder onto the joint. Good for pipe...not so good for boards. |
|
|
The retractable tip would heat the joint, the temperature could be independently for the tip and the solder. |
