    Hang in There, Kogasa-san 3318

    You know this story isn't over yet, right? :-) Well, I'll keep it from getting complicated as much as possible. (^^;)

    I had a co-worker from China who was able to hand solder a handful of such resistors onto a PCB in minutes with just a standard soldering iron. Watching him was almost like black magic.

    And when I tried it, I ended up causing a short because the solder spilled over to the other connections. How the heck do they do these things?

    Add flux. It works like magic. The solder will move magnetically towards the pads and stay there when heated. That imo is black magic.
