Title: It's April, 40 degrees, and I can't start my build!
Post by: rif on April 03, 2013, 05:12:11 AM

I'm upset and venting, this weather just isn't right for the Northeast.

My garage is warmer at 50, but as soon as I open it to allow ventilation for soldering, it dips back down of course.

Ugh

Northeast - been there done that - no more - you can always solder in a coat and gloves - just sayin.

I've always, I mean always, soldered in closed places. I guess that explains some things.

I live in Switzerland. Weather well cooler than on an average year so far. I use a fan heater in the garage to stay warm.....

Best

No excuse!

I live in Ottawa and completed my quickie over the weekend.  It was at most 5 degrees  and I did it in the garage for ventilation! 

just do it!!!  :)

You guys know that you can buy a bench top fume extractor for soldering, yes?
