How to Solder Like a Pro: Tips for Clean Joints

Good soldering is a skill anyone can learn with a little practice.

The essentials

  • Keep the tip tinned and clean
  • Heat the joint, not the solder
  • Feed solder into the joint, then remove
  • Let it cool undisturbed

A good joint is shiny and slightly concave. Dull or blobby joints usually mean not enough heat.
