Sorry, should have been more clear-- what exactly IS tinning? And how does one do it? (All Paul's module wires come pre-tinned, so I haven't had to do it myself yet...)

I always tin. It makes it much easier to stick the (multi-stranded)
wire thought the pad without a teeny little stray shorting something
out. And it makes it easier to solder in place. Good advice: always
tin!
