[QUOTE="69ST, post: 186749, member: 5"] Your soldering job doesn't look bad, at all. It's nicely flowed-out. The issue is that you have to work quickly, control the amount of heat that reaches the condenser. My technique: heat the gun (I prefer using a soldering iron, especially for this application), tin the tip, then apply heat the leads. Once the attachment point of the condenser is hot enough to flow the solder 1-2 seconds is all it takes to get a solid, properly-flowed, joint. [/QUOTE]
