Soldering Tutorial :)

hold the iron on the opposite side of where you are applying the solder....the heat will draw the solder into and through the (braided) wire ensuring proper electrical as well as mechanical connection...

some other things you want to do is have a wet towel or cloth on hand to clean the tip before and after soldering...and tinning (lightly coating the tip of the gun or iron) with solder to ensure good heat transfer.

Thank you DeVry...LOL

Great JOb posting this information and pretty good pics... thank you for sharing the wealth of knowledge jmanpc. Dont let the negativity get to you...someone will always think they know how to do it better. The trick is to always be open minded and keep learning.( from yourself and others. )
