Magnifying glass I can get...and need for other things in the future anyway.
Steady hand I got.

20w Iron I got.
>with replacable tips.
>I used a very fine tip.
Which tip specificlly? I would rather spend $100 getting a good iron I will
use the rest of my life than paying somebody $50 to do it for me.
>onsiderable experience with soldering is highly
>ecommended though.
Ah ha! Now this is the problem. I have lots of experience...but I am not
very good! I have gotten better recently, but I am just an amature. I have
worked on surface mount things before, but usually removing things. THe
other day I soldered a jumper in place on a very small drive Jumper (much
smaller than the ordinary jumer pins), and then removed. I mean, how good is
considerable? If I get the right iron, and then practice with it, could I do
it???
Thanks for the feedback!
Drew
