Title: Soldering Tips?
Post by: Harms on Tue, 27 December 2016, 19:41:36

Hi

This is going to be my first time building a board. What kind of tip do you use? Conical, chisel, flat, etc and is it better to have a thinner tip? Also when soldering on the LED do you cut the tall pieces before or after soldering?

Lastly, what kind of solder do you guys use and at what temp?

Thanks for any input :)
