| I am a terrible solderer |

| ChadTower:
Okay, my soldering station came in... so I immediately took some junk pcbs I have and tried desoldering some components... I suck at this. |
| ChadTower:
Okay, now some specific questions. Should I be trying to desolder components using the 20 or 40watt setting? 20W didn't seem to be enough and 40W nearly fried everything it came into contact with. Should I stop trying to do this with the screwdriver tip it came with? |
| Apollo:
Are you using a desoldering tool or braid? If you don't know what I am talking about I suggest you look for a soldering tutorial on the net. |

I have a solderpult... a one handed vacuum desolderer. http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=64-2098 |
| HaRuMaN:
I have found that it is easier to de-solder with braid. You might want to try it. :) |
