[sdiy] soldering with air conditioner?

[Justin Owen]

Dan,

As a side note - I recently changed the brand of solder I use to a 'No Clean' variety and bought one of those 'solder tip cleaning scouring pad in an ash tray' things. There's now barely any smoke at all and the fumes are almost non-existent.

I was surprised what a difference these two small changes made to the smell, the amount of fumes.

Just a thought.

Justin

this may be a stupid question but recently the temperature went up where i live. So i decided to install an AC in the only window in my shop.

now that it is time to get some soldering done I am wondering if the AC will suck out the Solder Smoke when i Turn it on? I'd hate to have to take the AC out as it is a tiny room and gets very hot.


In theory, I thought an AC worked by sucking out Hot air in the room and replacing it with cooled outdoor air. If this is the case, I would think it would suck out the bad air.


But this may not really work in practice.

anybody else dealt with this problem?



Thanks
