Hey all

Don't know how to solder yet, but saw a few videos on it and seems like something I can learn! :yh:

Well get some assorted wires and solders and start practicing on just soldering wires together to get started. The key to a good solder is when you apply the solder it effortlessly flows and surrounds the wires. (i.e. you dont want it to ball up) To do this make sure the wires are cleaned and hot before applying the solder, also try not to touch the solder directly to the iron, just ever so closely to it.

If you plan on burning stuff you will want to invest in a pair of decent safety glasses. Survival lasers has them $50-60.

Survival Lasers won't ship to my address. Is there any other good supplier I should check for safety glasses?
