How to Solder Body Contacts for Circuit Bending

Video Transcript

"AMANDA CLAIRE: So, I'm just going to put a little bit more solder in there so that this holds, so that it doesn't slip out the other side and ooh! A lot of this smoked. It's a good thing this isn't a lead based solder, I mean not that it's good to breathe this stuff anyway but I'm going to kinda avoid breathing those fumes. So yeah, I'm going to just kinda put my little solder blob there. Ooh look at that, kind of a large blob. Now I'm going to let it set and now once we remove that tape, it should be--once that solder blob cools down, now that body contact should be held fairly flushed against the front 'cause we used tape to do that and that'll help the solder on the other side, the wires in it, so we're good to go, all we need to do now is just solder the other ends of these wires to the circuit board. And I've actually drilled five holes here for body contacts. Remember I said I've found seven different places on the circuit board that kinda made those little Space Invader raygun sounds. So, one of them is going to be kind of a common contact and then the other four are going to go to four different places. And so I've drilled five holes. I've got a contact in each of them. We've got two wires already done and I'm just going to do the other three now."
