TheRandomness Can someone explain to me why this solder isn't melting at 240C? It has a melting point of around 188... themctipers September 29, 2016 Pesukarhu Poor thermal contact? Make sure your tip is not oxidised and/or covered in burned flux. I usually have my soldering station set at 350C, melts nice and quick. (also, lead-free solder has a higher melting point) September 29, 2016
