[@thegooddishes2251]

Just as a tip for soldering in the future, you want to touch the soldering iron to the surface you want to apply the solder to (in this case the LED and battery pack wires) and NOT the solder wire itself. So, the tip of the soldering iron goes against the LED/battery pack wires to heat them up, then you touch the solder wire to the hot LED wires to form the connection, and finally you remove the solder wire and the soldering iron to let the newly connected wires cool. You can then go back in and kind of “clean up” the connection with the tip of the soldering iron by gently dragging the melted solder around if needed. Loved the video and can’t wait to see more in the future!

[@CrossingCrafts]

God tier advice, thank you so much!

[@anothernate3302]

Also flux! Even if you're using flux-core solder, you need to apply this magic paste to the wires before heating. It dissolves any surface oxidation, which helps the liquid metal bond to the wire.

[@chrisvanmill6020]

Yes this! Heat the wire, not the solder. Also if the solder balls up and has a dull gloss to it, its a dirty solder. Clean the iron tip with a damp sponge between every other solder job.

[@DarkAthena76]

Came here to say all the above. Solder flows toward heat and a light application of flux is your friend. Also, use leaded solder.

[@adriagan2469]

this is so interesting! i do stained glass and this is the exact opposite of what we do- i never touch the iron to the copper foil/the seams between the glass, i only ever "pick up" the solder with the iron and let it flow to the seam without contact or preheating. this completely makes sense for wires! and clears up why the one time i soldered wires together my join was so bulky and goofy looking lol.

[@xenomar9417]

As someone who has watched artisans like you, Ace Of Clay, and North Of The Border and felt inspired to dabble in polymer clay sculpting so I picked up a couple of blocks of Sculpey from my local Walmart, I just want to say thanks for this video in particular. Your texturing techniques have answered so many questions I've had. Not to mention they way you built the base and hid the batter pack was masterful. I can't wait to apply what I've learned from this video. I'll definitely be using this video in particular for referencing.

for soldering - not sure about the metal beading up, but twist the wires together first before you actually start soldering - it gets a better connection and makes actually soldering easier

[@Jack-rj5mc]

Soldering tips! So what you are doing is called “painting” this is when you touch the solder directly to the soldering iron to get it to melt. It’s best to heat up your metal with the iron and touch the solder to your hot wire and not the iron. Another tip to make it a little easier is to connect your wires instead of balancing them. You can do this in two ways. You can create a hook on each end and hook them together or you can twist the wires together. This will ensure a strong connection and make it easier! Soldering takes a lot of patience and I would recommend getting tip tinner because if your soldering iron gets covered in enough solder it won’t be able to melt the solder and make connections anymore. That’s all I can think of rn but if you have more questions I can try and answer them!

[@CrossingCrafts]

Omg, thank you so much!! This helps a lot, I’m excited to break out the iron next time I need it for a project!

[@umbrellacrossing5064]

For the grass, maybe an overgrown bargainer’s statue? A Warped forest themed build sounds cool, but I’m not sure if the grass is the right color. It also reminds me of ori and the blind forest and the glowing mushroom biome in terraria, but those seem like they would need more LEDs.

[@richardepps8500]

To help the solder not ball up, use flux. It makes to solder flow and wick to the metal wire

[@kid_scarlet]

using flux while soldering allows the solder to flow nicely. also look into "tinning" both wire ends first.

[@ms_ch]

[@DanielRisacher]

When soldering, always heat the wires with the soldering iron - not the solder itself. Touch the solder to the wires from the other side from the iron and wait for the hot wires to melt the solder. The solder won't fuse with the wire if the wire isn't hot enough to melt the solder. It also helps to start by melting a tiny bit of solder onto the iron to "wet" the tip; this increases heat transfer a lot and makes everything faster and easer.

[@terryeubanks8797]

Every time you cut toward your fingers with the X-Acto knife, I have a little heart attack. Your craft has improved so much on this channel, please don't cut your fingers off.

[@TheEmraldz]

A tip for soldering: if you're having trouble keeping the wires touching, twist em together. Ideally, you want it to look kinda like a twizzler, doing this will also make a much stronger connection once it's soldered together. Also, idk if you have one already, but please please *please* have some kind of device to push fumes away from your face, that stuff is nasty. You want the solder to basically flow onto the wire, it should look like it's just coating the wires, having a big blob of solder isn't ideal (but isn't necessarily a problem, it just doesn't look great) Be sure to wipe your iron off whenever it gets the black crusty stuff on it, it should look like shiny chrome while you're working with it. You should also, before you actually start soldering, apply some solder to your iron, again, going for a shiny chrome look, just get a nice blob on there and wipe it away, leaving a thing coating on the iron. (This is called "tinning" and is also what you're doing to the wires themselves) Practice really helps, and as long as you haven't burnt anything, it's pretty forgiving, you can just reheat the solder and try again.

[@Vesperror]

Man, before you added the back legs it really looked like an OoT Dodongo lol😂 Amazing work, as always!!

Blue static grass looks and sounds exactly how I think it would taste

[@abigaillowry3354]

I'm not an expert in soldering by any means, but I do do it fairly often, and weird beading that doesn't stick might have to do with the wires being too cold compared to the solder. It'll cool quicker than it should and won't stick. You can sometimes get around this by holding the soldering iron behind the wire, with the solder wire in front, so the heat has to travel through the LED wires (or whatever else you're wiring) first before getting to and melting the solder

[@night_owl365]
