Step 5Tinning

sorry a couple of these pictures are kind of blurry.

a great trick for soldering with small delicate pieces is to tin everything first.

there are actually four wires. a copper and green in one set, and a copper and red in the other set.
all of the wires have an enameled insulation on them. i scraped at it carefully with a knife.

to tin you just add a small coat of solder to all the surfaces you intend to connect.

(when you go to solder them together you no longer need to add the solder, just touch the two pieces together with heat and hold them till they stick.)
