Soldering Technique Video Tutorial

[darron]

People have been asking me what's going wrong with their soldering. "Why is the solder sticking to my iron?", "The flux has connected traces that shouldn't be connected". etc. I've prepared a little video tutorial of my personal method. This is the way I was taught when I was young anyway. Suggestions for improvement are most definitely welcome, I don't want to lead people astray!

Nice one Extreme Darron!

I sure could have used that at the beginning of my short (so far) diy career!
Any chance it could be pinned, perhaps in the beginner thread?

Cool animation indeed.
I like the smoke from the solder.
How 'bout having the fingers touch the hot lead afterwards
