This verb describes the specific action of mending or assembling items with soft solder. It is primarily used in technical, engineering, or crafting contexts. - You soft-solder wires to a circuit board. - A technician might soft-solder a broken pipe fitting. - The instruction is to soft-solder the joint, not to weld it.
