In this video, I'll go through some key areas you'll need to know and understand to get great results when soldering. I learned to solder years ago and was fortunate enough to have been educated by a computer manufacturer. Those lessons have served me well over the years, but as I started doing more and more soldering lately, I realized those early lessons served me well and are still relevant today.
