I'm not a pro in soldering but I think you should cut the terminals before soldering , as cutting extra terminals after soldering may cause a crack in the joint , Nice video btw

nice vid, thanks

You can cut before if you want but it makes it harder to get a good solder on a small end. You end up with round balls of solder. Cutting after you solder is far better and should never result in a crack in the joint. Leaving the lead long results in a nice cone shaped solder joint. Use a good, sharp set of cutters and you will never have a problem with a crack in the joint. You cut don't pull.

Personal preference really. I use braid for small small amounts of solder like on a normal/small solder pad like the ones in the video and I use a pump for larger pads with more solder on them.

what temperature to set your soldering iron to?

I have mine at 370F. I use thin solder and solder really quick. It's really easy to burn up components with it this high.
It basically depends on how thick your solder is. Thicker solder = more heat needed. I would do some test soldering with your iron set kind of low and keep raising it until you get it to melt quickly.

Wouldnt be a bad idea to slip some tubing over the upper lead of the resistor so it doesnt short against other things, or coat it with liquid tape or electronics varnish.

Always a good idea. Thanks. I just made this video really quick to help one of my customers out. I never realized it would get so much attention. Had I known, I would have made it a lot better and more in depth. Looks like I should make a better one pretty soon.
