Soldering Tips (circuit boards)
Work in a ventilated area with a fan to blow the smoke from your face.
Allow the soldering iron to heat up to the point where the solder melts quickly when
touched to the iron's tip.
Clean the soldering iron's tip by wiping it across a wet sponge before applying solder
to it.
Be very careful not to unintentionally burn any wires in the vicinity of the soldering
iron.
