“I used the solder to solder the solder.” Thanos’ guide to electronics.

Please don't tell me you get paid good money to solder. First off, massive globs on your solder to the micro chip prongs. I threw up in my mouth a bit. Secondly, the butt splice, you need to tin the wires first before trying to connect them and then also you dont run the solder so close to the insulation so that it wicks up under. You can get an anti-wicking tool, but it embrittles the insulation and is not good technique. Also, why is your solder two strands together? You're working on fine electronics, get single strand and you won't end up with so much of a god awful glob when you're done. NASA standard technique is to apply tip of iron to the base of the hole and the lead wire at the same time, usually after applying flux and typically pencil tip for small electronics, for a short period of time and then touch the tip of the solder wire and remove. Practice makes perfect, but you don't want too little solder and never too much. it should concave up from the base to the lead. Typically you trim the leads prior to soldering too.

If you don't want people to make dumb comments about how you pronounce solder, than don't call people that use electrical tape poor.

Finally, a tutorial that gets straight to the point. No fillers, no backstory; just how to solder and that's it. Nice job - and thanks!

[@PurpleWhirple]

Very useful video, thank you. It's a shame that when someone takes the time to share knowledge there's always some internet troll out there waiting to make a dumb comment. Keep it positive people!

Well, here it is 2022 and your technique is still spot on. I'm just getting my feet wet in soldering and have a long ways to go . Thanks to you my journey is going to be a little easier. You explained techniques in a way that even the dim bulb between my ears could understand. Thank you for sharing your time and skills!

I’m “self taught” when it comes to soldering and now know I’ve been doing it completely wrong this entire time. So thank you so much for this tutorial, it’s gonna help me immensely in the future.

[@TheBattons]

I don't care HOW it is pronounced...I just want to know how its done. This was a good start.

[@Fortwaba]

This video is incredible. No filler. Straight to the point. No non sense. I just started soldering a few months ago, but this has been the most helpful tutorial so far. Covered all the basics.

[@KenMcGowan]

Soldering noob here. Been watching a lot of videos to pick up as many tips as I can here and there. Minute for minute, your video has been the best use of my time. Great tips, and no filler. Thanks!

[@IchihanKuroson]

This is by far, the most educational, straight to the point, and best beginner tutorial I have seen on youtube. Thank you kind sir

[@zadock6370]

one of the few guides to doing things that are actually competent and doesn't leave out half the important stuff. you are detailed but stays on topic. this was very well done. good job

[@jacquelinpowers8879]

Awesome video, thanks! My 12 year old son is taking a robotics class and needs to learn how to solder and this was exactly what we were looking for. Again thank you!

[@iconforu2c]

Thanks so much for doing this tutorial. It helped out with all the issues I was having and also answered some questions I had. After watching your technique, I attempted the failed project I was working on. It turned out flawless.......saved me a bunch. Again, thanks.

This video was uploaded 6 years ago and still one of the best I've seen. Thank you!
