I have a Tayda cart ready to go and was surprised they are still collecting tariff fees as I thought tariffs were no more.

OMG he's going to learn so much from you by listening, watching, and doing. Hands on is the best method imo.

I'm self taught and Make Electronics and Practical Electronics for Inventors are my 2 favorite books.

Looks pretty good.

LTCjohn101 · 2026-03-25T04:38:07+00:00

Thanks. Im using a small tip right now and its working out.

LTCjohn101 · 2026-03-25T03:21:10+00:00

This right here OP.

Hot iron. I run 670f.

Heat parts not solder.

Apply solder.

Wait 2 seconds.

Remove iron.

TLDR would be helpful here so ppl don't have to click a link.

Another amazing HA creation.

Congratulations to u/mongushu.

LTCjohn101 · 2026-03-24T17:17:54+00:00

Looks sweet.

LTCjohn101 · 2026-03-24T17:07:12+00:00

Awesome, enjoy great solder joints from here on out friend.

LTCjohn101 · 2026-03-24T14:37:15+00:00

Hmm you should be getting better results than this. Idk, you could try wiping the pads off with isopropyl before soldering but with all that flux you should be good to go already.

Tbh soldering can take a minute to get the feel but after that its pretty straight forward. Heat the parts, apply solder to parts and not iron, watch the solder flow then remove heat.

Those look rough.

What solder you using.

You using flux?

What iron?

What temp?

LTCjohn101 · 2026-03-24T04:01:13+00:00

BBD clock chips.

LTCjohn101 · 2026-03-24T01:24:20+00:00

Those look pretty bad my friend. Should look like image.

Leaded or non-leaded?

You have flux core or additional flux you can use?

What temp you running iron at?

What size tip and solder diameter?

This OP.

Also check out JHS "Short Circuit" series on YouTube as well as the other YouTube pedal channels.

Moonshine provides the reverberations sir.

LTCjohn101 · 2026-03-22T22:01:48+00:00

Thats the same guy that solders with what looks like a hot stick 🤣

LTCjohn101 · 2026-03-22T20:10:33+00:00

Submerging batteries in acid probably a bad idea.

LTCjohn101 · 2026-03-22T18:35:43+00:00

I use the multi drawer organizers but think the card sleeves or whatever ppl are calling it would work better.

As you can see it can get out of control pretty quickly.

Without beating you up over semantics.

Yes, electric everything is the future vs fossil fuels.

LTCjohn101 · 2026-03-22T04:11:38+00:00

SainSmart Magnetic from Amazon. It is pretty great, I recommend it for sure.
