  If your fingers are burning from soldering, you’re doing it wrong.

      I have that same soldering pen. Apparently I’ve been holding it wrong for years. I’m such an amateur.

    From feeding tiny bits of solder. Not from soldering.

      I prefer grabbing small amounts of solder with the tip of the soldering iron instead. Helps a lot when solderling small stuff, esp. smd components

        I prefer adding solder while soldering. The solder itself also holds flux, and often when you do it that way you don’t need to add flux yourself. Also if you solder through hole and you add solder to the tip before soldering all the flux dissappears, and you don’t have enough solder for the weld.

        And small amounts of solder doesn’t mean short strips, which is what you get when you do what OP posted.

    Or maybe you haven’t been doing it enough.

  I use a set of reverse tweezers to hold the tiny little pieces. It also helps to get your fingers out of the way so you can see what you’re doing with really small parts.
