Soldering Help

[softy]

Hi

I am trying to solder a wire to the point B of the diagram ive attached.
Why it is so hard to solder at that point, I can't get it solder, can you give me some tips on soldering to that point, and also what is soft disolver and where I can find it?

Please help, its urgent

Via's (those lil holes) can really be a bitch, if you are new, i sugjest staying away from them completely, and use the original points.

Just my '2 cents'

use some flux. try rubbing a little bit of solder in the via's points BUT dont rub it for a long time you might burn it off. if not why are using the alt point why wont use the original points.

If you use flux(or something similar to make the solder 'flow'), its best to put a lil on the via, and then dip a tinned wire in the flux (only a very small amount on both parts). From there all you have to do is barely touch the wire with the soldering iron, and the solder from the tinned wire should then flow onto the via.

If you dont use flux, try taking some soft sand-paper, and gently rub the via, then tinning it should be no problem.

I tend to take a pointed edge and scrape the top protective coating off. Take a tinned wire and dip in flux. Touch wire to point and then iron for like a second. It should be pretty secure then.
