How To Solder Ultimate Guide -EricTheCarGuy

I produced a video about this a few years back and honestly, it wasn't as good as I would have hoped. Here's a link.

Since then I've improved my skills and my tools and I believe I have a much better video for you as a result. As they say however, practice makes perfect. So if you want to get good at soldering, get yourself some 60/40 solder, a good soldering iron, and some scrap wire you can practice with. Before you know it, you'll be an expert.
