Good tutorial for photoetch soldering?

Post by MillenniumFalsehood »

I tried using my soldering iron, but (surprise, surprise) the temperature was too low to evenly heat the brass. But a torch deforms it because its so thin.

I need a tutorial on this subject.

Have you tried using extremely 'soft' or low temp solder paste? Try a jewlery supply house for the stuff.
