	[* black] * Bonus! * You thought you were just learning how to through-hole solder, but Included with this kit is a complimentary intro to [guide\|750\|surface-mount soldering\|stepid=4050]. Surface-mount soldering is commonly used to attach batteries to circuit boards in some devices, such as [guide\|3306\|iPods\|stepid=16242].
	[* black] Set the tip of your soldering iron on the large copper negative solder pad. This will allow heat to conduct through the solder pad, making soldering easier.
-	[* black] Touch your solder to the tip of the soldering iron and keep feeding it until you have a smooth, ~~concave~~ solder dome on the copper pad.
+	[* black] Touch your solder to the tip of the soldering iron and keep feeding it until you have a smooth, convex solder dome on the copper pad.
	[* black] If the solder doesn't come out quite right, you can always use the iron to melt it again or add more solder.
