Hi, all. This is my third Crack build, but my first with the Speedball upgrade. I've never done any soldering of components to a circuit board--my projects have always had point to point wiring. One problem I'm running into--and it happened on the very first joint I tried to solder--is that the solder wants to run straight through the hole in the circuit board and drip out the other side, or worse, make little balls of solder underneath the transistor cans. What might I be doing wrong?
Also... is the hookup wire used in the Speedball kit the same wire used to build the Crack? My parts list says there should be 2 ft. of red and 2 ft. of black teflon wire included with the Speed ball. I ordered it with a Crack kit and am guessing that all the wire is bundled up together?
Thanks for your help.
