Disclaimer
The techniques explained in the soldering-irons.com website are those that I have used repeatedly in many soldering projects. I have made extensive efforts to verify all these soldering techniques with other technicians.
But I cannot take responsibility for your application of them. Use them at your own risk. I assume no responsibility for any damage or injury incurred by their use.
Numerous other technicians and I have successfully used these techniques over and over. I have built hundreds of circuit boards with through-hole and surface-mount components. Whenever it was possible to implement the techniques described on this website they have always worked.
Follow safety precautions anytime you use soldering tools.
