Flux on the pad

+ Show full styles

[Instrumental Intro] [spoken over a musical background] Flux on the pad, the tip runs hot and clean, I bring the iron in at forty-five degrees. Pin one's the dot — I count around the square: VCC, ground, then reset sitting there. [spoken over a musical background] Half a second, no more, and the solder finds the seam, I drag the tip and let the surface pull it in. Nine and ten go out to the crystal, twenty-two to the shield, and the tin goes thin. [Bridge] (Beep) Continuity, ground to pin four. (Beep) no bridge across eleven and twelve. (Beep) a short. I lift it, wick it, run it once more. (Beep) Clean. It holds. [Outro] Nothing left to say, the board is warm and true. I set the tip down, pick the next one up, and the light stays on. [Instrumental Outro]
