Spyridon What is the mixture of paint you are using? (ie...ratio of paint to thinner) Are you using water as a thinner? TIA! Encryptor |

If you do a lot of soldering get a Weller but Tenma will get it done if you aren't doing it all the time. --- End quote --- Like that 15 W piece of ---Cleveland steamer--- he already has ? For 40 bucks, I'd pick up that Weller and play safe... --- End quote --- I have the tenma and my friend has the weller. He comes over and helps me a lot because he is far better at this stuff than me and he said he can not tell the difference between the two. The Tenma can be had for under 20.00 and is more watts. Plus that is not a high end weller it is in the same class of the tanma model shown and We know what the high end ones cost. Weller is one of the best and that one he bought will do just fine. Dave |

TIA! --- End quote --- I'm using water as a thinner. Hard to say what the ratio is, but it's not a lot of water. Basically, I put enough in to cover the top of the paint and then mix it in. It just takes some experimenting to get it right. |

Pay for a piece of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and you get a piece of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. That's the bottom of the line pencil. The Tenma stations are decent. I have one and did fine with it until I was given an old Weller. |
