I will admit that my soldering skills suck big time and while i would love to sharpen those skills i haven't had much opportunity. Rather that ruining the board i thought i would bring it along and get someone to help me out with soldering of the contacts. Anyone keen to assist...:) ?
 
Secondly, i picked up one of the single (non-replaceable) tip soldering irons from Dicksmith years ago. It gets the job done but isn't good for soldering in tight spots. Thoughts on how i might approach this would be appreciated...:)


This is a good resource on learning to solder

Advice on good soldering kit can be had on the CCHS mailing list (there is already probably a tonne in the archive)

Cheers
