Pro Tip 1/3Specialized Use
Solder as a noun is mostly used in technical and industrial contexts.
You'll find solder in an electronics workshop.
Pro Tip 2/3Not Adhesive
Despite being used to join metals, solder is not an adhesive like glue; it's a filler metal.
Unlike glue, solder melts to fill gaps between metals.
Pro Tip 3/3Not for Strength
Soldering is for making electrical connections, not for bearing loads or heavy weight.
Solder isn't strong like a bolt; it's for creating an electric circuit.

My father was a soldier. He was a frogman in the special forces in Denmark before I was born, and always the reality of that inspired me. My mom is very left-wing, classic socialist, and she always talked about the solders as almost crazy, violent, sick people, and I want to confront that because its very judgmental, and I'm not sure it's true.

American Scientist
When I graduated high school, nearly a half-million people subscribed to 'Popular Electronics' magazine. Soldering up some radio or hi-fi amplifier on the basement workbench was not just a personal passion - a lot of young people were doing the same. The magazine expired in 1999 for lack of interest.

Well, I had a lot of help from my father with the soldering and so on, and he was very good at math and was fascinated with computers, and so I was fortunate enough to have a bunch of exposure going all the way back to high school - this was in the 1960s.

My father raised me to build computers, hardware. Literally, as an 8 year old, I had a soldering iron and circuit boards, and this was in neighbourhoods that wouldn't have a whole lot of money or anything. And I figured out ways to just hustle.

A lot of people have said 'people should see you work in the studio,' because a lot of people don't realize I'm an actual engineer. I don't walk in and have some guy grab the board. I have my own studio and soldered every wire in the studio.

The only thing that was in my mind when we made that first phone call was, 'Is it going to work?' We had all these parts hand soldered together, engineers standing by with the soldering iron - just in case.

Our empirical criterion for a series of theories is that it should produce new facts. The idea of growth and the concept of empirical character are soldered into one.

I can write a program that lets you break the copy protection on a music file. But I can't write a program that solders new connections onto a chip for you.
