HOW TO solder - resources

Img413 588
Here are a few soldering resources - if you have others you enjoy (online) post on up in the comments!

  • Aaron's guide - "Soldering is defined as "the joining of metals by a fusion of alloys which have relatively low melting points". In other words, you use a metal that has a low melting point to adhere the surfaces to be soldered together. Soldering is more like gluing with molten metal than anything else. Soldering is also a must have skill for all sorts of electrical and electronics work. It is also a skill that must be taught correctly and developed with practice." [via] - Link.
  • EPE's "Basic Soldering Guide" - Link.
  • Soldering for beginners - Link.
  • Soldering and Desoldering. Step-by-step instructions for making (and unmaking) the perfect solder joint. MAKE 01 - Page 162.
