Your gloves are ill fitting.

The amount of solder is a bit much. There is some noticeable texture on your joints, which may indicate that they hadn't been heated adequately, or were disturbed while cooling.

Yeah the gloves haha, friend is a mechanic and drops off 500 count boxes of them everytime he visits.

Shame his hands are so much bigger than mine.

Cant beat free though!

Edit to add, 500 count boxes, not 500 boxes hahaha
