ApogeeKits Free Illustrated Guide to Electronics Soldering

Here is the FREE ApogeeKits FREE Illustrated Guide to Electronics Soldering (about 930 KB) Download could take about 4 to 5 minutes on a 28.8 dial-up modem connection. This 12 page illustrated Acrobat document introduces the principles of electronic soldering, reinforcing key points in the text with professional drawings and illustrations.  Discusses selection of proper soldering tools, solder wire alloys, fluxes, and hand soldering techniques. Will get beginner hobbyists and students off to a great start, while providing a worth-while refresher to those whom may already have some soldering experience, but never really had a proper introduction to the skills of soldering.
