hey bob, im an electronics tech, i never use those big soldering guns, not unless you plan to do something with maybe 8 gauge wire or something likt that. i use just a regular soldering iron and 1.0mm solder, solid core. if i need flux, i can just dip the tip of the wire into some flux paste. i dont always use flux, only if the solder does not want to flow.
keep it clean. apply the heat and let the solder flow to the heat. soemtimes a drop of solder on the tip of the iron helps transfer heat to what you are soldering, or de-soldering.
