Hi there, do-it-yourselfers. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to use Performance Tool's 0.031 diameter rosin-core solder. It comes in a storage tube, so that way you can keep it all together. You don't have to worry about your solder just being all over the place, the cap, you can pull it off to either feed it back in there or you can feed it through the small hole. So that way, whenever you need more you just simply pull it and it just feeds right out. You get 10 feet total of length inside the tube.

So that's quite a bit of soldering that you can get done 'cause each little repair you're likely only gonna use an inch or so. So we talked about some of the features of the solder. Let's go ahead and put it into action and repair a wire. Now, if you need a solder gun, so you can make your repairs with the solder, we do have a kit available here. So that way you can get soldering done as well as a bunch of other useful items that come with this, whether you're gonna be putting hitches, you've got a cutting knife in there.

So it's really cool, not just for soldering but for other applications as well. If you've got your trailer out there and all of a sudden you don't have your left turn signal, there's a good chance that the yellow wire that's going to it could be damaged. So we've found our damaged wire. We've located where the issue is. We're gonna repair it.

So we're gonna start by stripping back each end. And now what you don't get that comes included with your kit is heat shrink. If you're gonna be soldering wires together, I highly recommend using heat shrink with it. So that way you can cover your connection back up. So we're just gonna take a piece of heat shrink here.

We're gonna slide it over the end. If you need some heat shrink you can get that here at etrailer. I'm gonna go ahead and get the solder gun heated up though, 'cause if it's not hot, it's not gonna do its job here. So before we get everything prepared, we're gonna just turn it on. So if you look on the side here, it'll show on and off. We're gonna push up and slide it over to on and then click up on the lever. And we can hear it now that it's lit. You can adjust the temperature by how big the flame is down here using the adjustments. We're just gonna set it about there and we'll just let this get hot. We're gonna take our wires. And there's a lot of different ways that people have for techniques for twisting the wires together and soldering them together. The way that I like to do it is to take the two wires and cross them about like this. And we're gonna take the two ends, once crossed, and we're gonna flip them like this. And this way, when we go to solder it, our wire's still in a straight path. If you just take the two ends and twist them together, then you've got like a thing sticking out. And I don't really like the way it looks once my repair is completed. But if you do it like this, you've got a very clean wire going down. So now we've got them twisted together. We're gonna take our solder and our gun here. We wanna heat the wire, because if you touch this to the soldering iron, of course it's gonna melt the solder. I'm gonna show it to you here but you really don't want to touch it to it. You can see it's melting it. At least you know your solder gun's hot, but we want it to stick to the wire. So what we're actually gonna do is we're gonna go on the bottom of our wire and we're gonna heat the wire up. We'll give it a second there to get some heat into the wire, 'cause we want the solder to actually melt when it touches the wire. So we're just gonna give it a second there to heat it up 'cause we want that solder to draw in to the strands that is in-between each one. So we just gotta get enough heat in there to where it actually starts to pull it through. If you're having difficulties getting solder to stick to the wire, then you may need some flux and put some flux on your wire. Some solders do have certain amounts of flux in them to help assist you with this. Depending on the gauge of your wire, it may take longer to get enough heat into it to heat it up. If that's the case, we're just gonna turn up our heat just a little bit more, just to make sure we get enough heat in there to draw this in. There we go. And you can see here now that I'm touching the wire, touching the solder to the wire, it's actually heating and melting on the wire and that's gonna draw it in between each of those strands to ensure that we've got a
