How to use
finally, take your two wires or components you wish to solder, and strip the two ends. fray them and slide them into each other. then wrap it in about 1 inch of solder. place it on the bottom electrode, and press down. it will heat up instantly and suck the solder on to the wire. you never have to heat up your soldering iron again!

Enjoy
