Soldering with a heat gun?


Recommended Posts

Is it possible to melt the solder with a heat gun? My tank ran out and I need to solder a few terminals. I know the solder wire melts at around 500 degrees and my heat gun goes up to around 750 degrees on high. Would it take me forever with the heat gun or will it get the job done? This is the same heat gun I use for tinting.

Welllllllllll....I probably wouldn't do it.  It might melt the wire and other things too.  You can pick up a little 25 watt iron or the high wattage gun they offer at lowes or home depot and that would do the trick.  Soldering gun is best.  If it's a large guage wire you could use a pencil torch or even a regualr sized torch if you do it right.  Either way, it's up to you...could give it a try.
