"What we usually refer to as solder droplets... they're absolutely no good, no good at all."
"These are literally five pin buffer devices. They're a very, very common package for surface mount soldering."
"Soldering is pretty forgiving as far as these things go. It's genuinely one of the things I love about it. You can be really messy and really bad but it can still work because it's very forgiving."
"Wow, no soldering, just some shrink wrap."
"The preparation and placement of all the components ahead of time is key to a good solder joint in general for all of this stuff."
"I switched to my medium chisel tip which holds a little more thermal mass."
"The most important thing we need to do is put an equal amount of heat into both components."
"That nice glassy kind of bubble of solder that happens there, it looks all shiny, that means you have enough heat in it."
