Soldering Guide

"When soldering you have to keep in mind one thing: You need heat. Keeping the tip of the iron clean all the time, is the key for easy heat transfer from the iron to the parts that will be connected. Heat transfer is very important, since you don't actually melt the solder itself with the iron. You heat up the parts and then you use that heat to melt the solder. So, let's get down to business."

Lol, I remember my first and only time soldering a few months back, I had not !%%^ clue what I was doing. My necklace broke, and I soldered the main base on. Put it on the next day, seemed to work fine until I had like 6 scratches on my chest from the pins from the stuck out solder. Nice guide, for any soldering needs, looks like I can do something electronic this time.
