Soldering

Is anyone any good at soldering PCB and wires together?

Ham fisted drunks need not respond...

I am a ham fisted drunk, and I used to wield a mean soldering iron - do they still make that lovely smell...?

Rob I also have the soldering skills of a Ninja. 8)
Put me in your reserve team if the others don't cut the mustard :wink:

Snoop was let down by his own addmission of being ham fisted, drunk and craving some kind of flux sniffing fix. The rest were too slow. Apart from Paul, I didn't know what he was going on about.

Thanks to John (again) for helping me out. Thanks to the rest of you for offering.

well, if anyone else wants to show off their soldering skills I started a little project last year for some winter lights, needs a bit of soldering, I had never done any before so bought a cheapy iron from Maplin and a 'practice' project kit to try out my soldering - a bit hit and miss sometimes looks great other times.... Now that winter ia coming near I need to get this sorted so may try it myself (afraid I might damage the circuit though) but if any of you experts out there were willing let me know!
