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
Now I need to by something that holds everything in place, because what took most time was, well, that.
Same here. Never soldered much so I usually had a cheap pen around and my jobs were always fugly and a pain in the ass to do, Then I got my hands on an old 140 watt Weller 8200 gun.
My work is still fugly but it’s a hundred times better than it was before and I can do it in half the time… it makes things soooo much easier.
