Soldering. What not to do

[Captain Video]

This is the wrong way to hold a Soldering iron.
Am I right?
Lets talk about good soldering procedures and techniques.
BTW. I found the pic on REDDIT today and had to share.

Maybe she's 'cold' soldering....

She just thinks she's so hot she can melt the solder in her hands.

PLEASE do not use your soldering iron to pry components off your motherboard. LOL

Dunno, maybe these peeps are on to something

I found this series of soldering lessons on YouTube to be very good. They reminded me of the teaching the Ham down the road, WA5QKE, gave me when I was a kid.

Nice but can't get lead based solder anymore. Obviously those are pics with untechnical models and cold irons. If you think that is representative, I have a bridge in Brooklyn or land in Florida that I can sell you cheap.

Here in the states we can still get lead 60-40 solder hate using non lead solder makes life more difficult.

I just bought a couple of spools of 63-37 rosin core on Amazon.

When you have a couple pounds of work pilfered solder in various diameter and flux, you don't pay much attention to availability. Do know I cant buy it at my local hardware store in bars like I used to.

Whatever.

don't try to catch it no matter how confident you are that you will catch the handle, you won't

Great way to get the “I can see through his hand” reaction.🤣
