Amateur soldering a 1206 cap

Soldering looks a bit shaky and the tip angle isn't perfect because of the camera and its tripod! I don't have Parkinsons either, it just looks like it. :-D I'm still learning to do SMD soldering but I think it's going pretty well... Have to keep practicing!

@Kankki1 Kyllä vaan. Puhutkos svenskaa vai finskaa kun asut Nykarlebyssä Uusikaarlepyyn sijaan? :P

You need flux! Absolutely essential. You just go creating cold solder joints that way.

The technique is good… if you'd just apply flux to the pads beforehand.

@Kankki1 I have Stannol Flux Pen, and it was applied... Maybe not enough? It's a learning process I guess.

@epatto Oh, in that case, I guess it's good :) Didn't look like any flux on the videos. More flux can help though.

@Kankki1 I'll try more flux. Thanks for the tip.

@epatto Nå, enimmäkseen svenska ;)
