✷ the temperature that's ideal for soldering is 325-350 c, with the higher end of 350 being safer only for non-complex objects like wires.
✷ when soldering boards/computers, its important to take breaks between solders so as not to cook your electronics.
✷ make sure to constantly wipe the tip of the soldering iron on the metal sponge to keep it clean and shiny
✷ two types of wire:
solid: if you bend it and it stays in that position
braided: if you bend it and it curls back towards its original shape
braided: twist it and solder: use heatshrink!
✷ painting on flux helps solder flow better
✷ unsoldering: first heat it (using new solder) then click the solder sucker to remove
✷ don't bother with lead-free solder
✷ to solder wires:
✷ place your wires in an x over each other and twist them several times
✷ away from the wires, melt a bit of solder on the tip of the iron
✷ press the tip onto the wires to heat them
✷ take more solder and run it along the wire twists, allowing it to flow between them
