Get a good quality variable temperature iron and tips that suit the size of thing you're trying to solder. You'll find it easier to solder with a variable temperature iron as they generally have power in reserve and the control loop will compensate for those times you're trying to solder something large onto a big copper area. At the same time it'll reduce the power if you're doing fine work on something tiny. Try not to carry solder to your work on the tip of the iron. Heat the things you're soldering together, use the things you're soldering to melt the solder. The iron's tip should have a very tiny amount of solder applied to it in order to improve the thermal interface between it and the the thing you're soldering. Keep the tip clean, use a wet sponge pad or tip cleaner.

Use silver solder, not lead solder. Your brain is important. Don't try to use direct application of a tip to surface mount components. Get a soldering station and use the reverse suction to blow hot air on them to apply/remove solder Practice to get the zen of the 2nd law of thermodynamics for spreading heat through various surfaces. Try tinning stranded speaker wire, for example, to get a feel for how solder spreads onto a surface once it gets going. Remember to hold soldered items together until the solder winks at you Use flux core colder and a sponge. The water actually 'shocks' oxides from the solder tip. Flux also remove oxides to produce a more corrosion resistant joint. I once had a radio shack guy tell me never to use flux. Never listen to radio shack.

Don't accidentally touch the iron when its hot. Hurts like a bitch.

I've long since mastered most of the basic tech stuff, but one skill that continues to elude me is soldering. I feel like it's one of those things that is super easy to pick up as long as you learn right the first time. Rather than go all-in for the fancy soldering station now I just picked up a cheapy 30w iron, some rosin-core 63/37 solder, a wick and a sponge. My work discards PCBs all the time, so I can learn to remove and readd components. Any tips for the budding mobo repairguy? Things you wish you'd known when you started? Costly mistakes you'll never repeat again?
