Soldering Help

Hello,

I am going to try soldering a connection in my preamp. I don't have any equipment to do this. I am looking for advice on materials.

I did read that I want to avoid solder with lead in it.

What soldering tool, solder, etc would people recommend?

Thank you!

I agree, temp of gun varies with amount of heat sink working with, binding posts can take much heat. Just need to protect other in circuit components with their own heat sink.
