What are you trying to solder exactly?

I use a cheapo 45watt iron with a small chizel tip (only about 5mm wide, if that ) and it works fine; I find that for smaller stuff you need to turn the heat down otherwise the solder just overheats and shoots off all over the place- that shit stings when solder balls land on your hand or fingers. I've done 5.5mm bullets with 12g & 10g wire and butt-joints with 10g wire, get a great result everytime pretty much. What solder are you using too- I use rosin cored lead free stuff, flows nice & easy I find..
