Anthony asked:
I'm working on something and i need to solder wires together but I don't have a soldering iron. Can I just use electrical tape or duct tape? Also, an electrical current needs to be able to go through the wires.

Eric H asked:
I'm trying to desolder a component from a board, the only problem is that the component has an outer metal housing that is soldered to the board and the metal dissipates the heat so I cant melt the solder. i have a 40 watt weller iron, desoldering braid, and a vacuum pump. How am i supposed to get this off?
