I always solder in a "flux capacitor" in my strat curcuits. It helps with my timing.

Just remember, there is a right end and a wrong end to use when picking up your soldering iron. Don't ask me how I know this little fact.

I only use plumber's solder when I'm doing plumbing. A dash of flux keeps joints clean and stick.

Someone say, "More Power"?



I unilaterally GUARANTEE this will solve the problem with no flux required!!!

don't use the lead free plumbing solder. you need a lot more heat, it does not flow well and is basically not good for what you're trying to do. Use electrical solder (the stuff that still has some lead in it). IT melts at a lower temp and sticks/flows better.
