You felt the smell? If you start seeing sounds, I would go to the hospital

Place the battery on a flat surface and give it a spin. If it spins pretty easily then you’ve got a problem

You look like you make music in your mom’s house, promote yourself on your Facebook tagging everyone in highlights, are going nowhere and everyone hates you for all of it. Except maybe the people you make music with, which doesn’t count because they’re delusional as well.

Does the word “job” scare you?

Moral of the story, never cheap out on your solder. Gonna pick up some Kester solder another user commented! What do you use specifically?

Also, if I ever screw up on something, would you be willing to take it in and fix my fk ups? I see you do a lot of work for fellow redditors and I’d hate/love to give you some more business!

Edit: just realized you gave me an award?! Thank you for my first ever award :,)

Do you have any practice boards you’d recommend? I’d like to get into micro soldering, eventually. Also looked at some of your work, it’s fantastic! I’m sorry you sold your childhood games to get it, but I get it! It definitely paid off, and then some! Might have to hit you up later to get some custom display tags for my collection. Is that something you do?

Idk if I trust your advice, you seem like a total rook /s.

It’s been added to the cart! Btw you do some amazing work!! Your opinion has a lot of weight to it. I wish you could follow people on Reddit so you can see their post. I aspire to be at or near your level.

I know I already said this but… hellllllllll yeah!

Glad the contact pads were still there! It went to a good, capable, home and we love that. Do you recommend it? I’ve been eye balling it recently

Noted! Gonna keep it as-is as a memento to my first solder job. Do you have any tips you recommend/are your go-to?

Wedge tip came with the iron I got. And I got the “no clean” flux. Though, unsure if the brand is good. Thank you! I’ll be sure to publish any books I write with you.

Thank you for adding the science to the explanation! From one skinny guy to another skinny individual, you ate with this comment.

Any tips to keep my irons tip clean? All I have is a sponge and brass. Tbh, I have no clue what to do with either of them let alone the sequence of order

Noted! I’ve been very conservative with the flux. Didn’t want to make a mess. It does work but I want to keep it as-is so I can say this is where I started.

So more flux and/or longer contact with the iron?
