Ensure the tip is clean and tinned before use. Apply the hot tip to the joint to be soldered, allowing both the component lead and the pad to heat simultaneously. Once heated, apply solder to the joint, not directly to the tip. Allow the solder to flow smoothly and evenly around the joint. Remove the solder and then the soldering gun. Allow the joint to cool undisturbed.
