Hi all,
I'd like to practise making DIY cables, but I'm lacking virtually any theoretical and practical skills on soldering. I've read a bit on the techniques of soldering (in short, clean surface, heat solder tip & core/conductor, let solder come in contact with hot conductor surface so it flows nicely, let cool; obvious things to avoid: excessive solder, overheating, no eye protection, no ventilation). However, I know for sure things in reality don't work out so easily. I'm going to do some test cables tomorrow but I will greatly appreciate any soldering tips you experts can give me. Thanks!
