[TR] soldering

[Joe Curry]

(Use Rosin Core Electronics type solder)
Heat the iron.
Tin the tip of the iron.
Heat the wire(s).
Tin the wire(s).
Join the wires(or wire and post).
Place the tip of the iron below where you want the solder connection and let
the heat penetrate the wire.
Touch the tip of the solder not to the iron but to the wire where you want
the connection to be.
Let the solder flow into the connection.

Works every time.

Joe

US NAVY Electrical Soldering Manual says "The soldering iron must be applied
below the connection to be soldered, and the fluxed solder should melt
through
all wires of the connection"
