GENERAL TIps for soldering

[spookyman166]

1st: FLUX ...'nuff said.

2nd: Get a nice Goot soldering iron with a Temperature control and tiny tip (<1mm preferable)

3rd: clean dust off board, scrape with knife, clean again

4th: dont strip 10cm off the insulation. only 5mm is more than enough

5th: Tin with solder

6th: Use a 63/37 solder. It doesnt have a liquid phase so joints are strong and you wont get try joints.

optional: Get some solder paste (Mechanics Solder Paste), dip wires into it, solder. Done.

Please dont screw up your slims because of improper tools or solder.

Cheers

We really don't need another thread about 'How To Solder' :facepalm:

Surely this thread http://team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53934 is good enough :rolleyes2:

5th: Tin with solder

Sorry, but my thought was : "Tin what, your fingers?"

The people who know how to solder don´t need those tips, and the ones who don´t know how to solder will not know what you mean by "tin with solder".

I don´t think that this will help people

??Are you scraping the board clean with a knife? try air and ISO
