Good article, George. I’ve always used small alligator clips, as heat-sinks, on the leads of whatever I’m soldering. Can’t hurt, to be safe. I also like using solders with low melting points, and silver content. My faves: https://www.parts-express.com/wbt-0800-silver-solder-4-silver-content-1-8-lb--093-586 and http://www.partsconnexion.com/solder_trt.html Note their little blurb, on using high temp(quickly) to vaporize the flux.
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.
