One reason I like to solder in groups is that I think the components stay cooler if I solder one lead on each one before going back and doing the other lead(s). I check for solder before clipping the leads. I find that a small fillet makes it easier to spot a missed joint. Its eaiser to spot a missed solder joint than to find a heat damaged component. 73 - Rick - K7MW
