Learn the basics of soldering while building a decorative hot air balloon with a flickering-flame LED.
Soldering kits often fall into two categories - simple but with little to no instructions, or far too fiddly and complicated for someone just starting out.
This kit has been designed with absolute beginners in mind.
If you’ve never soldered before your first few attempts might be a bit messy. This kit contains a practice Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with extra large soldering pads so you can have a go, mess it up a few times and learn the basics before you move on to the main project.
Tools required: soldering iron, solder, wire cutters and goggles (not included).
