    just a friendly reminder to stay smart... or end up like me... dropping a big ball of solder off of your work onto your leg...


    (landed right by my knee on the inside, sorry for the bad quality lol!)
    it hurt... still hurts... afraid to peel it off... its about a sq inch around... smashed my knee into the desk trying to (get away) from it... didn't help much lol! well... happy hunting and wish me luck

    as an Electrical Engineering student and electronics hobbist, I have had my big share of burns...

    I was going to post a pic of a really nice burn (2nd degree burn with slight skin loss, but it's still getting better) I got this summer while modifying the PCB of a 4x12 guitar Amp Cab (I wad tweaking it so it could have variable impedances), but apparently my iPhone deleted ALL of my texted pictures (if anyone else experienced this issue and knows a solution, please PM with answers, I'll try doing a backup once I return to my apartment tho)

    I wore a solder glob for almost a week because I was scared to peel it off.
