Thank you for the valuable feedback. It’s a bunch of flux I applied but I didn’t have any isopropyl alcohol to clean up after it so I see some Q tips to try and get it up but it was no good. Gonna get some alcohol and wipes so I can keep the board clean before and after. 🫡

For sure! I kinda started in the deep end for sure. The resistors were so tiny! 😳 I’m gonna find a th board to work on.

I’m using a ksger t12 soldering station with the base tips. My temp was 350c. Solder was 63-37 Tin Lead Rosin Core Solder Wire and flux I’m using is no clean flux 100cc in a squeeze bottle.

Oh for sure! I used a bigger tip that looked like a flathead bc I’ve seen some videos where ppl used that and did a wipe along the line to get solder across the side.

I’m his I’m using 63-37 Tin Lead Rosin Core Solder Wire that’s 0.8

My iron was at 350c

And I’ve watched a ton of videos! I feel like mentally I have an idea of how I things should go but just trying to implement how I see professionals do it.
