Edit: using a 25W iron whose tip wasn’t heating up properly. Had to use its sides to get the solder to melt, which affected precision.

It’s ugly af but it works

I’m a solder soldier

And I’m so sorry for that last part

    Thanks! Even though this was my first time, I felt that something was off…

    I found the Weller 1010 for $214. I’ll sleep on it and then probably buy it anyway. 🤣

    What were you soldering at work, it I may ask? :) Space shuttle circuit boards? 😎

      Maritime electronics, mostly. Autopilots, radars, echosounders, etc. Plus interfacing radios with positioning systems.
