Reply to "Soldering track"

First rule of soldering- you heat the object you want to solder. It sounds like you are putting solder to the iron tip and melting it, however, the object you want to solder is not hot enough, so yeah, exactly what you said, the solder never sticks and drips off. Again, a key technique is to touch the iron to the object- example wire, with firm pressure. Then touch the wire solder against the object (wire in the example) near where the iron tip is touching the object so the object melts the solder, not the iron tip.
