    Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

    I have a Hakko 880 workstation, set to 720 degrees, I’m tinning the tip, cleaning it in between components and I have started to brush on flux before I try each component. But it’s still happening!

    For new pcb assembly I normally set my iron to 600 and have no issues soldering. My guess is your solder. PM me and I will mail you some good Kiestler solder. It makes all the deference.

    One other thought, what is the size of the thru hole component lead? Because if it's larger leaded component like the Rectifiers/Diodes on the WPC89/WPC95 boards then you will definitely need more heat. It helps if have a hot plate and can pre-heat the parts.
