07 - Tinned resistor
Tin every connection! A thin coat of soldering paste (dipped) on the legs of the component helps the solder stick right on. You should see the tinned surface get a little bit shinier. This piece is just for demonstration - it's a little thicker than usual (can't fit through holes in the circuit board!) but makes for a better photo. Also you don't keep the whole length of wire on the ends, so tinning the very tips is kinda silly. Doing it for real, I get the first little bit that'll stick through the circuit board once it's stuck through.
The pliers are holding the right side - so I'd be working on the right side. 1 - using pliers/tweezers keeps the heat from quickly conducting to your finger, since small parts like this heat up fully quickly. 2 - clamping between the hot spot and the component keeps more fragile ones from overheating (like capacitors, some chips.)
