Well Topic says it all.

What do you all consider the best low priced soldering iron for PE.

Thanks to all the reply

All I have is a Soldering Iron / Hot knife form Xacto.... think it was about 20 to 25 bucks or so........

I have a real cheapish one from Radio Shack. Ran about 15 bucks when I picked it up a few years ago. Changeable tip, dual voltage, 15 and 30 watts.

I'm not sure what PE stands for but 84 lumber carries a soldiering iron for about $14.95. For the work I do About 95% of my sclupting I use an old Wal-mart wood burner at $9.95.

I have both a cheap, POS soldering iron and a cheapo woodburner. The woodburner comes with some varying tips, all of which can work for soldering. Of course I've never tried soldering with a woodburner, but, I don't see why not.

I also have a cheap Radio shack iron bought many years ago.

think time to invest in a new one.

So best way to clean the PE I guess would be Lacquer Thinner?

Correct?

Never tried Soldering the stuff but have 5 T-34 grills I need to change and after making the first one from scratch,the $10.00 for each is money well spent I think

But then again the putting together of the PE {photo Etch} Anthony

might change my mind

Matt I am going for the M1A1 build in the campaigns.

Lucky we have 6 months

Thanks all

If they're brass I soak them in a bit of Vinegar and be sure to Flux where you want the Solder... add heat sinks as needed.

Goto the cheap dollar stores, they have them in the states, Dollar General, etc...got one for $2.99
