PRB Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi, am about to have a go at copperclad pointwork using code 40 rail soldering using those little solder balls ~ anyone used them on track construction if so what size should I go for Cheers Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethashenden Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I have both 0.3 and 0.55mm balls. The 0.3mm balls are too small to handle in my opinion, whereas the 0.55mm ones are just the right amount of solder. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted January 25, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 25, 2021 I tend to use 2x0.6mm solder balls per joint, seems to make for a reasonable size representation of a chair. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
