In this short clip, I show you how you can improve your soldering skills using a simple trick.
Some through-hole components are hard to solder because they have too short or too rigid legs that you can not bend to hold them in the PCB when you flip the board to solder the pins.
A solution for this issue is to use white tack. You can get white tack in your nearest stationery store. Form a small ball of it and stick the component to the PCB with it. Flip the board and solder the pins, and then just remove the white tack. You can reuse it for a very long time.
