Okay, so I had a simple soldering point break on an important piece of equipment and I'm going to have to redo it myself in the next couple of hours. I don't really want to pay somebody to come out and repair this, since it should be simple.

The job: I have to solder three wires to one of those little clip things that clips onto a screw on an audio component. Sounds ridiculously simple, and I don't expect I'll have any troubles, but I've never done any real soldering before, so I thought I'd ask if there's anything I should know. I've got two RCA wires with the plug on one end and tinned wire on the other. And a shitty little soldering kit. Any advice?

Never mind, it's taken care of.

Pretty easy, as expected. It's kind of fugly, but ain't nobody gotta look at it.

dont burn yourself.

dont get solder in your eye.

try not to breathe the lead fumes, even though it smells so sweet.
