	* '''Follow-Up'''		**The quality of a solder joint can be determined by visual inspection. A good solder joint looks shiny and is shaped like a volcano, while a bad solder joint looks dull or has blobs. A bad solder joint should be resoldered since it will likely have a poor electrical connection.

			*'''Troubleshooting'''
			**Solder wicks into the work when the work is at the proper temperature. If it is difficult to get solder to wick into the work, then heat from the iron may need to applied for a longer period of time. Some components or wires may take more heat to solder. Speak with a manager if you are having trouble using the soldering station.

The Weller WES51 soldering station is used for connecting electrical components and conductors together in a circuit. The soldering iron uses heat to melt solder to form a strong joint that is electrically conductive. A soldering station provides much of the same basic functionality as a soldering iron but adds more precise control of temperature.
