Great video because it clearly shows you how NOT to solder !

WAAAAAY too long heating (esp after he removes the tin, bubbling WTF ?!?!?!) plus way too much solder !

"You can see this is a nice strong joint" well no because he created a bubble instead of a Fuji.

The funny thing is that he _had_ a good soldering if he'd removed the tin and the iron exactly at 1.14-1.15. You can see it "popping" into a Fuji there but he goes on and add and add solder which is totally useless and in fact bad and after that he keeps "baking" the solder....

Amateur.
 
Wow... I've been soldering wrong all these years... :(

I'd like to see what that kind of heat does to traces on a Matshushita chassis or some of the old PCBs from the '70s. I've lifted pads with next to no heat... it would be cool to see him try something like that and be like "Oh crap... that wasn't supposed to happen... Ima expert!" :alberteinstein:
