I have never soldered before but your video is done so well, that I am excited to go give soldering a try! Thank you for making such a concise, easy to follow tutorial!
I just picked your most recent video to ask a question about RGB led lights with a 4 pin connector. I have the led lights in my car they came from O'Reilly's but one of the pins broke so I cut the connector off in hopes to hardwire it but the lights also plugged into a little box with a nob so when you turn it the lights change. Well I no longer have the box so what I have is 2 RGB light strips that are connected with about 3 feet in between them(one above the pedals for driver side and one for passenger side under dash) the wire is cut off at the part that plugged into the box.. I was gonna wire the power to the fuse box and ground the ground wire but I don't know what color is what. I have a blue,white,black,and red. I'm gonna use a 3 prong switch to turn them on(I know it will only be one color). How do I accomplish this? Sorry so long
Ive always taken the amateur route and used connectors but am now taking the plunge into soldering to do it properly. I just wondered if I should use Flux or just solder with Flux core solder?
I always have a tough time when I'm stripping the wire in the middle, and it breaks the wire in half. Any strategy to help that? Has this happened to you?

It's a lot easier to twist the strands using the stripped piece of insulation before pulling it off the wire, especially with thinner gauges.
I actually dont think it is
Nice.
Imma try this my peddles to my racing sim got cut in half ( user error from righting to much after cleaning) this seems simple I’m hoping it works 🤞🤞
Does it need flux?
Nice tips!
I like to use flux on the wire to be soldered. Better solder flow and faster.

What type of solder and flux should i get!

Its amazing how many people (and industries) are anti-solder and pro crimp. I try to do both when possible
Without flux us fine for small wires

Be more gentle
Get a wire stripper
What's that tool called? 🧐
Soldering iron, lineman pliers/side cutters, razor knife.
@Welstial precision/automatic wire stripper
Flux ?
You don't really need it if you have rosin core
