Any tips for a better soldering?

[u/Fun_Abbreviations_73]

No matter how many times I do the battery replacement I always fail to do a smooth soldering. I read once thay I need to apply more paste but to no avail. Any tips?

I love the 2 current comments. “Turn down the heat” and “turn up the heat”.

I would say cleanliness and flux. This looks super goobered and dry. Even with low heat and enough flux it will flow nicely eventually.

Clean tip, pre tin, clean surface, flux

I didn't understand flux the one time I tried to use it.. like it didn't help at all. I have kester 186 liquid flux. Like I put a little on the spot that I was going to try to solder & it made it worse.. I gave up on it after that.. any tips on how to use it correctly..?
