What is the method used to know the difference from the thinnest to thick solder,(soldering wire)?

You have to use appropriate attachment, depending on delicacy of job. For example, if you were to work on the iPod's circuit, the thick attachment would be too thick and you will only need to work with thin one. Practice connecting a few copper wires to each other before you actually do a job. You will see that it's not difficult at all, but practice would certainly help. Good luck.

Yes, MAPP will work fine for that. The melting point is only a little higher than that of plumbing solder. Be sure to use liquid flux, NOT the paste flux.

Yes although I would opt for the serial interface version.i had to add that on, and it's not bad practice for soldering but you can get it presoldered for less than buying the serial interface and display together. Serial interface will allow fewer pins used and easier addressing in the code.

There are basic instructions included. The unit is labeled input and output so you know which wires to connect to the power and which to output. These wires are ready to twist on with wire nuts. If the current configuration is soldered you can cut the existing wire in the middle and just attach this unit. No soldering.

inside the box it has instructions on to how many wires need to be spliced into and (depending on vehicle) which factory wire(s) need to be grounded. Soldering is extremely recommended because they are data/ resistance wires so if the connecting is not 100% your gonna have a bad time.

The real catch to soldering is more the using the right tinning then the solder it's self. Some like what i've linked below works for many metals (not well on stainless still, that requires a more specific tinning)Ruby Chemical 2OZ Liquid Rubyfluid

The pic is different than the spool I received. "Mine says LEAD FREE SOLDER WIRE Size Sn99.3 Cu0.7 Dia 1.0mm", and the spool is green.

Sorry I have no idea that that is, I use it in jewelry making. I would assume it would work in any soldering situation but I've only used it using silver solder used in jewelry.

My tape shows 2 7/16-just short of a half inch. Base is heavy-probably cast iron. Happy soldering!

That info was not supplied. However, it is the same thickness as the original tape that came with my dispenser. I am going by the feel of it in my hand.

To answer your question directly, it is not madatory but it does help. Tinning the tip(s) only takes a small amount of solder and helps the solder heat and flow easier. Just allow the iron to get hot, apply a bit of solder and then wipe clean. Use a rosin core solder with a thickness appropriate for the job. On circuit boards use a thin diameter (.093 or smaller) and then larger as the wire diameter increases. Hope this helps, I was a NASA certified solderer 40+ years ago when I worked in the R&D; Lab on the Apollo program.

I can't recall. I just used bare wire and tighten the screws on that--works great!

Depending on the size of the materials you are trying to solder. It will solder aluminum wire with the right flux and solder. I would expect the same is true for metal

I assume you are asking about copper or copper plated wire. You can do that with a regular soldering iron but the Lee melter at a pretty high temperature would work better. have at least 15% tin in the mix of lead or use pure tin.

Depends on the handle , you have to heat the handle to the point where the solder will flow into the repair ,if your material is too thin where your heating it could simply melt away.

gauge is the thickness measurement for the product not the internal electric tolerance of the device

The instructions are very precise and they include the colors of each resistor and its location EG, R47 10k ohm brown black red gold Then it will point out the exact location of the part in the instructions to place eit correctly on the board to be soldered. After each section is completed, the instruction book gives you steps to check your work using simple tools such as a volt meter. (recommended, but not necessary).
