<p>[QUOTE="manny9655, post: 14641795, member: 112417"]Agreed, the blob is in the shape it's in because the iron wasn't hot enough to heat the coin enough and the solder didn't flow. The circular pattern in the blob at the rim is where the iron was placed. It takes quite a bit of heat (and time) to get the coin hot enough to get the solder to flow. I've literally soldered THOUSANDS of electrical and electronic connections and that's definitely a cold solder joint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
