Soldering Gun

[🪦 psychosocial91 ●]

I'm looking into making gloves and was wondering what type of soldering guns you glove makers use.I want to start slow so preferably something not too expensive to see if glove building is really for me...Thanks,Hector

They don't use soldering guns. The soldering is done with torches.-Joseph

Blow torch and solder.

Propane torch. Buy one at Lowes or Home Depot. Get flux to clean the metal. Use lead-free solder.You can also search youtube for "make a freddy glove". <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" />

Good luck <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> [attachment=31725:022.JPG]

Thanks again,Hector<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndLook for some sheet metal fabricators in your area. You can hand cut the parts... be prepare to be challenged though. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" />
