Re: Soldering advice

Martin,

Make sure you have a good soldering iron that has the proper tip temp,
and that your tip is not worn out. Keep it cleaned with a wet sponge.

Make sure you are touching the tip to both the pot leg and the pad at
the same time to heat them both for a couple seconds before applying
the solder.

I don't have any trouble soldering pot legs on mine.
