Introduction to Gas Soldering Irons

Most electronics constructors, hobbyists and technicians will be familiar with the use of electric soldering irons for assembling circuitry or for repairing electronic devices. This book, from the respected author of the #1 resource "The Basic Soldering Guide", is devoted to the use of gas-powered soldering irons.

Over the years, portable butane-fuelled soldering irons have become readily available and there’s now more choice than ever before. So is a gas soldering iron right for you? How do they work and should you buy one? Hopefully the answer to these questions and more besides will be found in the Introduction to Gas Soldering Irons. As an added bonus, in Part Two some typical gas soldering irons are reviewed to help you decide whether a butane iron is a worthwhile buy and what to look out for before you invest in one.

Using friendly, non-technical language and colour photos the Introduction to Gas Soldering Irons explains how different types of gas iron operate, what features to look out for, some key facts about butane, important safety aspects you need to know about and how to get the best out of a typical unit. Although it's written with electronics users in mind, others may find it useful too and it's a must-read for anyone thinking of buying a gas soldering iron.
