Surface To Solder On

[SiIV]

on what kind of surface can i solder on? is the kitchen table ok?

 

[Paradox]

do it on a hard surface with a few layers of newspaper down unless you want solder stuck to the table. what are you soldering anyway?

i solder on my normal desk. wooden stuff

 

[grahf]

Yep. Wood works excellent for soldering newbies

 

[IsSuE]

as i do not solder that often it is far enough

It doesnt matter.. I did it on a glass table, its only 4 minor points and then its over

I'm notorius for bridges - even though i'm quite handy with a soldering iron. Shakes. yannow. I usually do it on one of my moms bathroom towels - it just looks like a poo stain if i burn it - which i can blame on my brother. ya rly.

I do not understand how to resolder the four points on the headphone socket. Three contacts are still there. How do I put the solder so it will stick to the circuit board?

I do all my soldering on my desk on top of a magazine =/
