2) For electrical/electronic soldering, use a soldering iron, rather than a redhot poker from the coal fire.
3) Use 60/40 tin lead solder with cores of flux (not acid flux).
4) Do not use a blowlamp.
5) Things must be clean when soldering.
6) Do not apply the solder to the tip of the soldering iron and attempt to transfer this to the solder joint.
7) Remember that the soldering iron gets hot; do not attempt to catch it if you drop it... do not stick it between your teeth if you run out of hands.
8) Use a damp (not wet) sponge to remove the oxide layer that forms on the tip of the soldering when it's in use.
9) Apply a little solder to the tip of the soldering iron before attempting to make a solder joint.
10) Bring the soldering iron to the things that you wish to join and apply light pressure to assist the transfer of heat...
11) Feed a little solder wire into the joint... the flux should clean the oxides off the wires.
12) Feed in more solder until the solder joint is nicely formed... it should look nice & smooth and shiny (with 60/40 tin lead, with lead free all solder joints look rough & dull).
13) Remove soldering iron from the joint and try not to move the joint as the solder cools (this is a prime cause of dry joints).
14) Practice. A lot. After about 40 years you'll get quite good.ǝןqqıʍComment
