Battery help

More watts=more heat=more likely to burn and *Can'tSayThisOnTV* up the board.

However, 45 watters with small tips are great for RCP wiring/ exp. pak relocations, as you can touch for 1 second and it's done.

Not sure about 45, but I have a 30 watt weller that works well (lol pun) for me. It heat joints much quicker, so cart slot relocations and the like don't take as long.

Well, I have used a 45 watt weller with a super thin pointed tip, and it was so much easier to use than any iron, as you just had to gently dab the solder and it was done.

A couple minutes.

Dude. Radioshack website. Type in soldering iron. Be amazed.

the solder drips and lands on me

or something worse happens

 

[jleemero]

It happens, all the time, deal with it, unless you try and swallow the iron, you'll live, just, *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ing, do it.
