Hehe ... well thanks for the comments everyone but I'm still a little lost .... the iron itself is a decent one and has a pretty fine tip on it (its got an almost new 0.4mm micro chisel). It also holds its temperature pretty well although I've not actually measured it (certainly its got plenty of thermal mass behind it given its ability to solder onto reasonably big chunks of metal without the temperature diving). The problem is I've still got no idea what sort of temperature to set it to (its marked in ºC as opposed to the wattage it might be equivalent to). I notice that many data sheets specify 300ºC as being the standard soldering temperature, is this just for wave soldering as used in the assembly of most of these things or would this also apply to hand soldering? What sort of temperature would start getting dangerous from the point of view of delaminating of the circuit board? - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
