VERO-WIRE This picture shows the Verowire Pen, a Comb and a reel of wire.
Tip: People damage their pens by pulling on the wire with the pen and soldering at the same time. The heat goes up the wire and cuts a groove in the plastic pen. You now have a scrap pen. All you can do is to try to file away the slot in the pen tip that you have created but it is never the same again and it usually gets binned in frustration. Use a scapel to cut the wire away from the pen before even thinking of soldering. I remember asking the Vero rep if there was any chance of a metal, professional, pen but it looks like it never got off the drawing board. Even a metal tip would have helped. Serious people with the proper equipment could modify a pen with a stainless steel tube in the tip. In creating these few pages there is no desire for monetory gain; they are just for interest in the Verowire system and to offer assistance to those who may care to use it for developing circuit boards either for experiment or small production runs where the cost of making a PCB is rather expensive. It
would appear that this information is just historical now.
