Hot solder will not "stick" to a cold electronic part. You need to (slowly) pre-heat whatever you are going to solder (which is basically brazing in welding terms) Flux can be very important - although I normally just use rosin core solder (nasty fumes, good solder joints). Practice makes perfect. Don't be afraid to get a set of "third hands" to help you too. http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/a4bb/ |

After testing it out at an arcade repair party, I just bought a Hakko Soldering Station as well as a Hakko desoldering gun. +1 on using quality equipment. |

I used to hate/suck at soldering until I learned how to do it right. Mainly from following the information in these YouTube vids: And +2 to having decent equipment. Bought a Hakko FX-888D soldering station to replace my cheapy Home Depot soldering iron and haven't looked back. |

A quality iron took me from completely useless to recapping my own monitors and doing other everyday electronics repair and builds. Just another example of a quality tool making your life a thousand times easier. |
