Looks like it might be worth trying higher temps. I'll report back with the results.

The tip is a very small chisel. I've tried wider chisel as well as small point tips and had the most luck with the small chisel. What temp do you guys use? I'm finding a wide range of recommended temps.

Hey Barry. I've played with temps around 260-340C and I'm using 63/37 solder. Would you recommend hotter? I am cleaning and tinning very regularly, and did try adding extra flux. I would take a photo of the other side but I already desoldered these components (trying to resolder them tonight).

I'm hoping you guys can give me some pointers based on the following photo: Do you ever run into some spots where the solder just doesn't want to flow through? It just blobs up one side and never really sinks in? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried different soldering temps...

Got it, thanks guys!

Thanks for the reply, Mcknib. It looks like your diagram is actually this, where the DC jack (-) and the battery snap (-) don't join:

Thanks phi1, I understand it in theory, I'm having trouble understanding what connects to the PCB ground vs the PCB (-). I'm working on a Fuzz Foundry, here is where I'm at:

Hey guys, I'm new here. Quick question about adding a battery snap as per phi1's diagram: What does the (-) on the circuit board connect to? I have the input jack sleeve going to ground, same as on the original PedalPCB instructions and phi1's diagram. I'm confused about the (-) from the power...
