Tips & Tricks
- Preparation
- Wet the sponge with water before use (make sure it is damp - not dripping wet).
- Be sure to allow the iron to fully heat up before using. Using an iron that is not at the proper temperature can lead to poor solder joints and will be frustrating to use.
- Tin the tip - cover the soldering iron tip in a layer of solder and wipe it on a wet sponge before making solder joints in your circuit.
- Use a smoke absorber to mitigate the fumes created while soldering.
