Hey guys. I'm going to be doing Minwah's mousehack ( http://mamewah.mameworld.net/mousehack.html ) tonight on a happs 3" blue translucent trackball i just got. The only other soldering i have done, was for the lights on my coin door. I got the job done, but it came out ugly and the solder was clumped up etc. I would rather do a better job on this, does anyone have any tips on soldering? I searched the boards but didnt really find anything. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks |

use a little bit of flux every time and dont let the solder directly touch the iron. it also helps to coat the iron in fresh solder and tin the wires.. |

If i dont touch the solder directly to the iron, how do i melt it? and what do you mean by tinning the wires. Thanks |
