FIRST OF ALL GET A DECENT SOLDERING IRON. I HAVE A VERY NICE WELLER SOLDERING STATION (65 WATT) I USE ON EVERYTHING I BUILD, BUT WITH MY SUPER I AM JUST FINISHING UP I HAD TO BUY A LITTLE BIGGER GUN TO GET THE 12 GA. WIRES SOLDERED TO THE FXR'S. AND ALWAYS TIN EVERYTHING YOUR GOING TO SOLDER FIRST, THAT MEANS HEAT THE WIRE / TAB AND APPLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF SOLDER TO THEM AND ALLOW TO FLOW ONTO, INTO THEM. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A QUICKER SOLDER JOINT WHEN READY, AND USE SMALL DIAMETER ROSIN CORE SOLDER. GOOD LUCK. OH AND ONE LAST THING, ALL SOLDER JOINTS SHOULD LOOK SHINNY WHEN DONE RIGHT. |

Getting negative feedback is no laughing matter.

If he wants to give neg. feedback let him. He's pissed because I decided to keep my rims i had on classifieds. If he gives Neg feedback for that oh well. Wasnt like i was a dick or anything about it. Even told him somewhere else to find them for same price i was asking. Can't please everyone I guess. I got plenty of +++ feedback so One neg dont hurt me a bit. WIsh I wouldnt have got one but Hey it happens and if its because I decided not to sell and REFUNDED his money with-in 15 minutes then so be it. |

Get a flux pen! Looks like a highlighter, and is full of flux. The flux cleans the joints before you solder them. Not really needed on new stuff, but anything used it is a must!!! Very big help.
