I bought a Keywiz last week and silly me I got the solder version, when I ment it to be the solderless one.   ::)  Duh!

I got the pins from maplins and getting ready to fire up my finger burner to get these soldered.

Any one have any good tips on soldering?

I am only soldering 8 connections, but I'm lethal with my iron and anything electronic especially this cool keywiz.

Is there any alternative to soldering?

Can any pros help me out please?

Im really bad with a soldering iron but I can give you some good info.  Were shoes.  I stepped on a iron once and lets say I wasn't so happy for a while.  My brother found it funny as hell though.

Loki:

Practice :)

Apollo:

Soldering isn't that hard really, all you have to do is make sure you are heating the parts not the solder and make sure you have plenty of desoldering wick/braid.

Somebody (not me) is going to have fun with the title of this thread.

Get a stand with a clamp so you dont have to juggle everything.  and use a little solder at a time and use electronic solder.
