  • I prefer adding solder while soldering. The solder itself also holds flux, and often when you do it that way you don’t need to add flux yourself. Also if you solder through hole and you add solder to the tip before soldering all the flux dissappears, and you don’t have enough solder for the weld.

    And small amounts of solder doesn’t mean short strips, which is what you get when you do what OP posted.
