How do you guys solder? Do you place the tinned wire to the pad/leg and then heat the wire? Or do you heat the pad and the wire at the same time? I know I want to avoid cold joints, but I don't think I can hit the pad and the wire at the same time. When I solder, it seems that the tip of the tinned wire becomes like the iron and heats the solder on the pad well.

Sorry, I'm new to this and trying to avoid failure. I've been practicing a lot though. This is hella fun!

BTW I'm trying to mod my 4850's.
