BEHOLD-THE ultimate soldering tip!

Post by Retromaster »

If you want to solder perfectly,
check out my secret:

1-buy some 0.032 solder from radioshack that comes in a tube.
2- coil a 1' long strand or more around your index finger.
3- stretch out 3 inches of straight solder from the coil and touch the connection.
4- place iron on solder for less than a second and melt it over connection.
5-presto, you have the perfect connection!

this works everytime for me, just point to the spot you want solder on!
i'll post pics later, but my camera broke :cry:

There is a STICKY about this, why are you posting a thread about it.

Sometimes I swear you just post because you like to press the submit button.

Every time I made a solder connection.
