Mastering the Art of Soldering
6.3 Soldering the Wires Together
1. Applying the solder flux to the connection.
Apply a little glob of solder flux using your finger or tools and apply it onto the wires.
2. Melt the flux into the wires.
Use a heat gun to melt the flux into the wires by waving the heat gun back and forth, to avoid
direct heat on the wires and avoid overheating the jacket.
Note:
DO NOT include the heat shrink while heating the flux. Place it far from the area you
are applying the heat.
3. Prepare the soldering iron.
