try to make it as quick and fact-filled as possible here's my first sovereign

as possible here's my first sovereign

as possible here's my first sovereign iron I ever owned this is a like a

iron I ever owned this is a like a RadioShack has a 15 or 30 watt switch

RadioShack has a 15 or 30 watt switch

RadioShack has a 15 or 30 watt switch this is a butane soldering iron these

this is a butane soldering iron these

this is a butane soldering iron these are very handy if you have to work on

are very handy if you have to work on

are very handy if you have to work on stuff away from electricity this is my

stuff away from electricity this is my

stuff away from electricity this is my soldering station I finally bought it's

soldering station I finally bought it's

soldering station I finally bought it's probably a hundred watt people usually

probably a hundred watt people usually

probably a hundred watt people usually stay between about 315 and 370 C this

stay between about 315 and 370 C this

stay between about 315 and 370 C this would be 600 to 700 Fahrenheit and the

would be 600 to 700 Fahrenheit and the

would be 600 to 700 Fahrenheit and the temperature is definitely dependent on

temperature is definitely dependent on

temperature is definitely dependent on your application so if you have a little

your application so if you have a little

your application so if you have a little surface mount job you probably want a a

surface mount job you probably want a a

surface mount job you probably want a a sharp of a tip as you can get but you

sharp of a tip as you can get but you

sharp of a tip as you can get but you want to keep your temperature closer to

want to keep your temperature closer to

want to keep your temperature closer to 315 C or 600 Fahrenheit you need to be

315 C or 600 Fahrenheit you need to be

315 C or 600 Fahrenheit you need to be quick too because too much heat and you

quick too because too much heat and you

quick too because too much heat and you can burn them up I have a sponge here to

can burn them up I have a sponge here to

can burn them up I have a sponge here to clean my tip I usually keep some water

clean my tip I usually keep some water

clean my tip I usually keep some water here so I could just get things wet you

here so I could just get things wet you

here so I could just get things wet you need to keep your tip clean so before

need to keep your tip clean so before

need to keep your tip clean so before you start soldering you need to put some

you start soldering you need to put some

you start soldering you need to put some fresh solder on and go ahead and clean

fresh solder on and go ahead and clean

fresh solder on and go ahead and clean it off for soldering electronics you

it off for soldering electronics you

it off for soldering electronics you definitely want rosin core solder acid

definitely want rosin core solder acid

definitely want rosin core solder acid core is not for electronics it'll mess

core is not for electronics it'll mess

core is not for electronics it'll mess things up in the old days we can get

things up in the old days we can get

things up in the old days we can get some good lead solder lead-free it has a

some good lead solder lead-free it has a

some good lead solder lead-free it has a slightly higher melting point but for

slightly higher melting point but for

slightly higher melting point but for all intensive purposes it's the same so

all intensive purposes it's the same so

all intensive purposes it's the same so when you're going to solder and by the

when you're going to solder and by the

when you're going to solder and by the way its solder in the United States and

way its solder in the United States and

way its solder in the United States and solder in on the other side of the pond

solder in on the other side of the pond

solder in on the other side of the pond so please don't write stupid YouTube

so please don't write stupid YouTube

so please don't write stupid YouTube comments telling me I'm pronouncing it

comments telling me I'm pronouncing it

comments telling me I'm pronouncing it wrong because you can pronounce it both

wrong because you can pronounce it both

wrong because you can pronounce it both ways so for starters I'm gonna get a

ways so for starters I'm gonna get a

ways so for starters I'm gonna get a little solder on my tip

little solder on my tip

little solder on my tip and then I'm going to get the pieces of

and then I'm going to get the pieces of

and then I'm going to get the pieces of metal hot and then apply solder to the

metal hot and then apply solder to the

metal hot and then apply solder to the hot metal and I use a quick upward

hot metal and I use a quick upward

hot metal and I use a quick upward motion to kind of make the the bubbles

motion to kind of make the the bubbles

motion to kind of make the the bubbles look good but you definitely want to get

look good but you definitely want to get

look good but you definitely want to get the metal hot and you want to apply your

the metal hot and you want to apply your

the metal hot and you want to apply your solder directly to the metal the reason

solder directly to the metal the reason

solder directly to the metal the reason you do this is because there is flux

you do this is because there is flux

you do this is because there is flux this is rosin core solder and the flux

this is rosin core solder and the flux

this is rosin core solder and the flux will burn off so if I just put it on my

will burn off so if I just put it on my

will burn off so if I just put it on my iron and let the flux burn off and then

iron and let the flux burn off and then

iron and let the flux burn off and then I try to stick it to it it doesn't

I try to stick it to it it doesn't

I try to stick it to it it doesn't really stick to the metal that great but

really stick to the metal that great but

really stick to the metal that great but if I put some fresh solder on there

if I put some fresh solder on there

if I put some fresh solder on there it'll go ahead and melt in good so if

it'll go ahead and melt in good so if

it'll go ahead and melt in good so if you're gonna solder a couple of wires

you're gonna solder a couple of wires

you're gonna solder a couple of wires together the most common method is to

together the most common method is to

together the most common method is to twist the wires together and then if you

twist the wires together and then if you

twist the wires together and then if you have something like a helping hand

have something like a helping hand

have something like a helping hand that is very helpful otherwise it's

that is very helpful otherwise it's

that is very helpful otherwise it's quite a pain trying to hold a couple

quite a pain trying to hold a couple

quite a pain trying to hold a couple pieces of wire together so first thing

pieces of wire together so first thing

pieces of wire together so first thing you need to do is get the wire hot so

you need to do is get the wire hot so

you need to do is get the wire hot so you're gonna get some solder on here so

you're gonna get some solder on here so

you're gonna get some solder on here so that it starts conducting the heat to

that it starts conducting the heat to

that it starts conducting the heat to the wire once the wire is really hot

the wire once the wire is really hot

the wire once the wire is really hot smoking hot you can go ahead and apply

smoking hot you can go ahead and apply

smoking hot you can go ahead and apply the solder notice how I'm applying the

the solder notice how I'm applying the

the solder notice how I'm applying the solder to the wire and the wire is just

solder to the wire and the wire is just

solder to the wire and the wire is just wicking the solder in and you want to do

wicking the solder in and you want to do

wicking the solder in and you want to do this pretty quick otherwise your

this pretty quick otherwise your

this pretty quick otherwise your insulation will start to melt so now

insulation will start to melt so now

insulation will start to melt so now that you have your wire what do you do

that you have your wire what do you do

that you have your wire what do you do well if you're if you're poor you will

well if you're if you're poor you will

well if you're if you're poor you will use electrical tape to cover up the wire

use electrical tape to cover up the wire

use electrical tape to cover up the wire or you can use some heat shrink tubing

so another point to mention is that you

so another point to mention is that you

so another point to mention is that you need the rosin to make the solder stick

need the rosin to make the solder stick

need the rosin to make the solder stick to the wire however solder will stick to

to the wire however solder will stick to

to the wire however solder will stick to solder no problem so if you tin your

solder no problem so if you tin your

solder no problem so if you tin your wires really nicely and you get the

wires really nicely and you get the

wires really nicely and you get the solder sticking to the wire you can

solder sticking to the wire you can

solder sticking to the wire you can actually reheat solder and even though

actually reheat solder and even though

actually reheat solder and even though this hasn't twisted together so people

this hasn't twisted together so people

this hasn't twisted together so people are going to get me in the comments

are going to get me in the comments

are going to get me in the comments because this isn't the way you're really

because this isn't the way you're really

because this isn't the way you're really supposed to do it it actually is pretty

supposed to do it it actually is pretty

supposed to do it it actually is pretty sturdy it's a good solder connection

sturdy it's a good solder connection

sturdy it's a good solder connection though mechanically there's not a very

though mechanically there's not a very

though mechanically there's not a very good connection if you first twist the

good connection if you first twist the

good connection if you first twist the wires around each other there's more

wires around each other there's more

wires around each other there's more metal to metal contact and then when you

metal to metal contact and then when you

metal to metal contact and then when you apply the solder it gives you a little

apply the solder it gives you a little

apply the solder it gives you a little better connection one of the most

better connection one of the most

better connection one of the most important things is to take care of your

important things is to take care of your

important things is to take care of your soldering iron tip and you do that by

soldering iron tip and you do that by

soldering iron tip and you do that by turning the tip you can shake the excess

turning the tip you can shake the excess

turning the tip you can shake the excess solder off or you can use a your sponge

solder off or you can use a your sponge

solder off or you can use a your sponge once you get it cleaned and then tinned

once you get it cleaned and then tinned

once you get it cleaned and then tinned you're ready to go

you're ready to go

you're ready to go so of course bigger components this is a

so of course bigger components this is a

so of course bigger components this is a big resistor and a big capacitor these

big resistor and a big capacitor these

big resistor and a big capacitor these things will dissipate a lot of heat so

things will dissipate a lot of heat so

things will dissipate a lot of heat so you probably want a fatter tip if you

you probably want a fatter tip if you

you probably want a fatter tip if you can or crank up your heat to closer to

can or crank up your heat to closer to

can or crank up your heat to closer to the 700 Fahrenheit or 371 C range now if

the 700 Fahrenheit or 371 C range now if

the 700 Fahrenheit or 371 C range now if you put a soldering iron on an old joint

you put a soldering iron on an old joint

you put a soldering iron on an old joint like this it really doesn't do a very

like this it really doesn't do a very

like this it really doesn't do a very good job of melting this solder the

good job of melting this solder the

good job of melting this solder the first thing you want to do regardless if

first thing you want to do regardless if

first thing you want to do regardless if you're trying to fix the joint or trying

you're trying to fix the joint or trying

you're trying to fix the joint or trying to take it off as put a little fresh

to take it off as put a little fresh

to take it off as put a little fresh solder on there and the deponents or

solder on there and the deponents or

solder on there and the deponents or work way way nicer then so now you can

work way way nicer then so now you can

work way way nicer then so now you can see I can easily work with it now that

see I can easily work with it now that

see I can easily work with it now that I've put the fresh solder on there
