That would have to be done once it was through the leather. Depending on the heat source it could be a challenge to not singe the leather Quote “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” - Voltaire “Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms.” - Aristotle
Contributing Member fredk Posted 14 hours ago Contributing Member Report Posted 14 hours ago When I'm soldering anything very close to plastic or leather I wrap a piece of wet cloth around the item, just slightly past the area to be soldered. That keeps the rest from getting too hot Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
CFM chuck123wapati Posted 1 hour ago CFM Report Posted 1 hour ago Most of those arent soldered. I doubt you would need to in this case, there is not a lot of weight on it. But if ya want to, then tin them first before putting them on the wallet, then it's just a matter of touching a hot iron to them for an instant. Beware, solder isn't the same color, so it will show, so you have to be careful tinning just the seam. Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
