    I just read though the tips , thanks all. I'm not a huge fan of Soldering either. I guess I should buy a little flux, I always thought that since I was using Rosin Core solder that I didn't need it?

    Quoted from Dawson:

    Flux seem to transfer heat , I love flux , then I use a tooth brush and alcohol to clean that flux off after soldering ..

    Do you clean everything you solder or just PCB's? e.g. Wires to Coil lugs ?

    Quoted from Frax:

    My complaint with alligator clips and "helping hands" that have them is that a lot of times they maul the wire insulation. I'm being nitpicky probably, but it still bugs me.

    Could always wrap the alligator clips teeth with a little duct tape or electrical tape? Just something to keep the points from indenting the insulation, but still do the job.

    Just a thought, I have never done it..
