Lots of good tips already. I struggled a bit with effective enamel removal on my first and second kits. The new kits exclusively use the thinner enamel wire which is much easier to work with, but echoing the other comments, it's best to be sure you've done a good job removing enamel. To do that, I can heartily recommend using an exacto knife to scrape enamel and a very hot iron when soldering. I can also recommend additional flux for connections you?might have trouble with. I used ChipQuik liquid flux. Keep solder braid (flux your braid) and a solder sucker handy. Some re-work is inevitable or at least it was for me.
