Soldering Tips & Techniques:

Wait for about 1 minute for soldering iron to get heated up.

Never touch the tip of Soldering Iron.

Return the soldering iron to its stand when not in use.

When we melt solder the smoke formed from flux is irritating, therefore make sure you are soldering in a well opened area.

Whatever you are soldering, you should 'tin' both contacts before you attempt to solder them. This process is called tinning.

Keep your iron tip clean. If you feel like iron tip is not clean, wipe the tip of the iron on moist sponge.
