You didn't even mention flux! Flux is very important in all hand-soldering. Without it, you are going to have a very hard time.
- AnthonBerg 14y agoYeah, you're right. A simple two-joint part like that can be done without additional flux, just using what's in the solder - but the example would have been less poetic, more accurate, and most importantly more educational if it had had a fluxing step.
