Surface Mount Resistor Guide / SMD Resistor Soldering

Thanks a lot for the video learnt a lot. Big thanks for recommending the gtek wipes they work great. Been looking for this material for ages. Been using kitchen towel for too long! Boards look much more professional now. Cheers

Great video

Lovely watching you work.

Can you tell me what you use to magnify your work please?

Also, what size tip are you using on those super small 0402, 0201 and 1005 resistors?

Thank you very much for your teaching, greetings from fans in Taiwan!

immaculate !! : ) that is some nice quality soldering !!! ..can i send you my laptop to fix ?! -_-

Very satisfying! I build class 3 electronics, and I loved soldering from the first time that I learned to do it

Once again another outstanding video. One thing I would really like you to cover is SMD capacitors. One thing in particular is reading the values and how to choose the physical size of a replacement capacitor. I already do a lot of rework recapping vintage computers and general cleaning and I've noticed different manufacturers seem to label them slightly differently so it's being able to accurately read their values. Had a computer recently where I was given a set of caps to go in and had to use a multimeter to read the value as I couldn't tell from reading the top of the cap.

Some of the caps are in tight spaces. For example, on the Amiga computer (A600 and A1200) the caps for the audio are sandwiched between the keyboard connector and audio/parallel/serial connectors. Early revisions of the A600 board the pads are particularly small making soldering replacements quite tricky. It's great when you've got loads of room to work but often you're in a tight space so any advice on soldering in tight spaces will be gratefully appreciated.

Many thanks for your time in putting these videos together. I couldn't solder for toffee at school and now, although I consider myself quite capable, learning loads from you!

As usual, it's a very nice clear video. Thanks for your time and efforts

what size solder is that ?

Thank you for all your hard work.
Cheers m8.

The Bob Ross of soldering.

This is so sermonizing! Hypnotic even! Can you tell us what tip you are using and the solder specs?
Thanks!!mesermizingmesermizing

Another lovely demonstration - many thanks indeed. Please can you let us know which flux you use now that the Electrolube stuff you previously recommended is no longer made. Cheers

Hey there! Loving your videos, I'm getting into soldering electronics, mostly for console repairs, maintenance and guitar stuff but I'm kind of lost on what type of soldering iron to buy (low budget one)
I have one from the hardware store, but can't regulate temperature or nothing, is it enough to start or do you have anything else you recommend? Thanks a lot and thanks for the vids!

May I ask the type of solder, solder tip and flux you use on these SMD components? Begineer here

What flux do you use?

Mr. SolderFix, can you do a video of your workstation, showing how it's laid out and all of the tools you use.

Great video 👍

Quality video, quality content, informative. Always belts and braces.

I'm always amazed at how steady your hands are and wish mine were the same. I think that's my only issue when trying to solder such small components. But you make it look so easy. Once again, a great video with helpful content, thanks for sharing.
