Default Soldering Iron

Hello all,

I apologize if this question has been asked in this past but I'm somewhat curious. When you do Voltmods you're working with very tiny connections. Do you require a specific type of Soldering Iron to do this? Or do you achieve your results based on skill alone?

Again sorry if this has been asked in the past. I looked through the archive and didn't find anything on the subject.

Thank you,

Keith

you can do Pencil mods that require no soldering, although im sure soldering is more effective and possibly risky, dont burn your pcb!

You cut back on the coffee and the amphetamines.

well yes a lot of it has to do with skill, also a very fine tip on the soldering iron along with thin solder helps a lot :]
