Soldering mistakes

1. The wires are sticking out all over the place.
Thread the wire through the hole carefully to avoid the wires from sticking out in all directions

2. The solder isn't on the board (not attached)
Make sure to heat up the board and then solder. This will allow the solder to stick to the PCB.

3. Two solderings are touching.
This could be avoided by soldering carefully and by heating up the area around the individual wires at different times, not at the same time.

4. Wires touching.
This could be avoided by cutting the ends of the wires off until only the solder mountain is left. So as soon as you finish soldering that component onto the PCB be sure to cut the wires off.

5. Wires sticking out under the solder mountain.
To prevent this from happening twist the wires around each other so this doesn't happen.
