1.Place the soldering iron in its stand and plug it in.
2.Wait for the soldering iron to heat up.
3.Moisten the sponge.
4.Wipe the tip of the iron on the damp sponge. ...

6.The tip of the soldering iron should be a shiny silver color.
#How do I start soldering?
Step 1: Begin by #making sure the tip is attached to the iron and screwed tightly in place. Step 2: Turn on your soldering iron and let it heat up. If you have a #soldering station with an adjustable temp control, set it to 400′ C/ 752′ F. Step 3: Wipe the tip of the #soldering iron on a damp wet sponge to clean it.
#Flux removes oxidation from metals, and it's crucial because solder won't stick to oxidized metals, and metals oxidize very quickly at soldering temperatures. 3. Not enough heat: A 15 Watt iron is fine for small chips, but any larger connectors or wire bigger than 16 gauge will cause problems.
