THE BEST Soldering Tutorial - LED Strips and More - Complete Walkthrough

Good quality solder makes ALL the difference. The one that was recommended to me and what I use in this video is widely considered to be the best on the market. It has a flux core which has eliminated the need for me to add flux separately. All solder is not created equally and your experience soldering will more than likely be very different than what is shown in this video if you are using something else. The other thing to mention that I forgot to cover in the video is that a clean tip is very important so make sure to clean often. (links below)

I don't know how many LED soldering videos I've watched, where the person either has the camera across the room, or has their hands over the piece while they're working on it. This is exactly what I wanted to see. Thank you.

[ndPlayr]

Hands down the chillest, easiest and most understandable tutorial I've seen so far on soldering. I learned something about myself while watching and the soldering right after. Thanks you so very much for this Chris!

[Lady_Hiccups]

Adding the part about the protective coating at the end really completes the video! I just bought some that has it without realizing. Glad to know it's so simple to remove.

[dragon_storm_]

Omg, this video has made me feel so much more confident in doing some soldering with my current project. Thank you so much.

[barrettready]

By far the best wire soldering video this is so helpful well worth a follow for this

[nancypakou]

Chris I legit used to solder circuits boards for a living. In my expert opinion, this is a great tutorial!

[fanaticdavid]

I want to get started with WLED but soldering is still a foreign thing to me. I'm saving this tutorial for later because it's simple, thorough, well-illustrated and well-explained. Thank you so much!

[jimmyyxe]

Thank you for this. I need to learn to create some new art and this has me feeling better about trying to solder it all myself

[leightonlawrence]

I got it first try after watching this. Thanks breh

[onearmfrog]

This needs to be the first result on YouTube. Period. Such a good tutorial. Thank you for this 🙏

[Shakes_The_Clone]

Chris, this was outstanding. Thank you simplifying what all the other soldering videos I’ve watched have made into a convoluted nightmare.

This YouTuber is great at explaining the topic of "how to solder", I would like to see more on the history and what made it (i.e. soldering) so popular & who came up with this idea 💡 I never understood how soldering worked, but this video made me understand things a little more clearly regarding the technique of soldering and why soldering is used, after watching this great video... Plus, the announcer had a very clear and smooth narration voice! The background music also had a nice, relaxing & good vibe to it!

[jeremylawson]

this might be exactly what i’ve been looking for including the other light boxes and stuff. love it

[MS-gngl]

Hands down the best of those tutorials on here. No fluff trash nonsense.

[whatsupwithsteve]

Awesome! I've been doing simple led strips on my custom cabinet projects and have always wanted to branch out into something like this! Your videos are great and invaluable for anyone who might want to play with this, thanks..:)

[vangeeson]

Thanks to this tutorial i overcame a frustration soldering LED strips and it enabled me to mass produce a little DIY Simracing gadget.

[winterpull]

Thanks so much. Just those ‘little tips’ helped immensely

[salsal]

You are really getting good at making these videos. Thank you!!

[prilealsilva]

Just finished connecting two strips for my gaming room/office. Very tense because it was basically my first time doing this. But cannot thank you enough for all the tutorials.
