First solder attempt, need tips


Recommended Posts

velvetdreams:

I outline the exact way to achieve a perfect solder connection, as well as how to properly make every other conceivable connection in my book - Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems. You can pick up a copy at your local Barnes and noble or order one from Darvex, Mobile Solutions, Amazon.com, Jegs, Summit Racing, etc.

Best of luck.

I love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need.

make sure your tip is clean, also make sure you tip is tinned. Get you a small sponge and get it wet but not soaked. when the iron is hot take and roll the tip in the damp sponge. this will get any extra solder off the tip and help clean it up a bit. then take some fresh solder and get a little on the tip and roll the tip again. this should tin the tip and make soldering easier. it shouldnt take 5 mins to heat up the wire but depending on the thickness of it, it may take a min. also if you are going to try to resolder the wiresin the pic i would cut that out and start fresh.

EDIT:

just found this, it should help you out some. when you have some time just get you some scrap wires and practice man. once you do it a few times youll get the hang of it.
