+1, looks very good.

For stuff like this I prefer to use a soldering gun. Mine has 2 settings, the first is 100 or 120 watts and the other is something around 180-200. Heats up very fast and gets very hot, if my 60W iron can't do it I pull the gun out and it does the trick. I paid about $35 for it at ACE Hardware, good price for a brand new Weller! It has a little light that lights up your work area well. The only thing I don't like about it is it has an aweful duty cycle, for every minute you use it you have to let it sit for 4.


All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
