A "primer" on soldering...


I’ve been reading with great interest, the threads on DIY cable rolling and such...

I have a decent soldering station and am not afraid of the "act". I just would like to know basic user knowledge on the art of soldering and it’s (do’s & don’ts) for the average DIY’er as it pertains to audio.

Practice, practice, practice!  I have done it a couple times without practice and the results were not great.
Great advice everyone.  My first attempt was an emergency solder job.  A tonearm clip broke off and I had no choice but to repair it. 

It was a Hadcock TA and the leads were about as thin as hair - I got er done but it won't win any awards for beauty!  I have since gotten better with practice.
