I did 10 of them last night. The solder blob method works fine. I found the key is to have the soldering iron as hot as possible (wide open on my Weller station) and keep feeding fresh solder to the blob as you move along the lead. It takes about 3 seconds per lead. The enamel bubbles away and sends up a nice plume of smoke that has an affinity for nostrils. Someone mentioned that the fumes are carcinogenic. I hope not, because I got a nose full.
