Solder Reflow Method

I use this technique for large solder joints involving several wires or one big wire. Holding the wire(s) in place while applying heat can be tricky. When several wires are to be joined, heating one wire thoroughly can make another wire pop off. The "reflow" method allows you to "tack" wires in place temporarily, and then reflow the entire joint to get good solder flow and penetration.
