Excellent tutorial, thanks for posting. Soldering has been a REAL source of frustration for me, and your video has helped me understand why I keep failing. That point about heat sinks and the difference between modelling and electronics is a good one. Looks like I need a more powerful soldering iron.

Regards, Keith

This is amazing. And I saw many wrong things that I do. 

 

Absolutely a new perspective to the soldering. And I have learned key to the successful, heat transfer! 

 

Thank you for sharing with us Paul.

Paul, many thanks for posting. Very helpful info in a nicely done video. I picked up a number of tips that I will use in the future.
