Hot enough to melt solder onto electrical connections, and the skin off your finger.

Euan Russells answer: it can reach approximately 250 degrees, that is hot enough to burn your finger and possibly even leave a scar, so be careful and watch out!

No clock or radio disply 2001 Mercury Villager but the CD changer and radio work just fine?

These radios are notorious for the displays going blank. I have a 1999 Villager Estate that had the same problem. The cause is usaully a set of large resistors on a circuit board inside the radio. The resistors get so hot that the solder connecting them to the circuit board actually melts and they become disconnected. The repair involves opening the radio, finding and resoldering the large resistors. They can be identified by the heat discoloration that they cause on the circuit board. This isn't too difficult, but if you have no experience using a soldering iron, then you may want to take the radio to a friend with a bit of soldering experience.


How do you fix onoff switch on guitar amps?

Open up your amp and see if there is loose wiring on your on/off switch. If so, you can take a soldering iron and fix it. If that doesn't work, or that's not the problem, then you can take it in to a guitar shop for a replacement switch, which will only cost you around $10.

How do you break in a new soldering iron?

Look at the 'bit', the part that gets hot that you do the soldering with. It should have an inclined flat surface on the end. If it has not, make one by using a file. Heat the soldering iron up. At the same time get the solder out, which should be tin solder with internal flux. When the iron is hot, quickly file the surface of the bit clean and apply the solder, which should immediately 'take' to the surface. That's it.


Why do you think it is best for a soldering iron to have a soldering stand?

Have you ever had a soldering iron roll off the table and land on your wrist, burning a hole that took over a month to heal? I did in 5th grade while building one of the Radio Shack electronics kits I had received for Christmas! Learning from that I made my own soldering stand from a small metal can and poured over a half inch of lead into the bottom from my lead soldier casting set to make sure that the weight of the soldering iron could not tilt the soldering stand!!! I was never going to run the risk of a soldering iron getting away from me again!!!!!
