| [title] Solder the first resistor | |
| - | [* icon_note] In this step, you're going to |
| + | [* icon_note] In this step, you're going to apply solder to one of the resistor's pads on the board to make it easier to solder the resistor in place. |
| [* black] Press the iron's tip against the circuit board's solder pad for a few seconds to heat it | |
| [* icon_caution] If you heat the circuit board continuously for more than 10 seconds, the excessive heat may damage the solder pad. | |
| [* black] Feed the solder wire into the heated area until there's a concave pool of solder on the pad. | |
| - | [* icon_note] Don't feed the solder onto only the tip as it won't flow properly onto the pad, causing a weak connection. |
| + | [* icon_note] Don't feed the solder onto only the tip, as it won't flow properly onto the pad, causing a weak connection. |
| [* icon_note] The solder should melt onto the pad within a few seconds. If the solder doesn't adhere to the pad, apply flux to the pad or increase the temperature. | |
| [* black] Remove the solder wire first, then remove the soldering iron from the pad. |
