This has always pissed me off not having 3 hands. Anyone have tips on painlessly soldering wires neatly while the part is on the playfield, like wires to coils etc.
My problems always begin when its to do with soldering 2 connected wires to a coil. Ideally I have someone holding the wires against the terminal and me holding solder and the iron. The job is a nice clean piece of work. Without that extra hand the job turns out with a big glob of solder or it just attaching to the terminal or worse the two wires seperating etc etc.
Any experienced solderer have ideas please?
try applying the solder to both parts first seperately. then solder the two parts together. learnt it off an electronics guy.
