Soldering? Answered

I got a new PC board from radio shack and I am going to be making a little flashlight. I don't think the board is interconnected in any way, so is it ok for me just to use melted solder as a lead from one spot to another, like connecting the pos and neg of two led's. If this isn't right, what is the proper way to use those PC boards.

I think it would be best to get the small paper clips and bend them to the right shape then solder them where you need two connect two points. Your way would work but there is a chance that it might look pretty sloppy.

I got in a hurry and did it without checking this question, but it worked out ok, not too sloppy, just an over-sized blob in one corner is all, I kinda like the look of solder running across the board though.

Well that's great because all that counts is that you like it.
