The trick to soldering, make sure the iron is hot enough, make sure the 2 parts to be soldered are "tinned" that is, heated and had a drop of solder applied, then, put the 2 together, heat, add a tiny dab of solder, and blow on it to cool, if the join looks like silver, all good, if its dull then you have a "dry" joint that will fail. Simply reheat and its all good.Originally Posted by candice
I used to run a recording studio and have installed 3 different consoles, so all in all I have made many many MANY 1,000 solder joints, and I probably weight 8 kilos more than I should from breathing in lead fumes!
