[sdiy] problematic sh101

[harrybissell]

if I might BUTT in here... I'd be very leery of using a 12W soldering iron and
then
saying 'traces lifted'.   There is such a thing as too little heat...you have to
hold it on so long
that the heat spreads out into a much larger area. (heat affected zone).

This can looses the adhesive that holds the copper to the board over a large
area, causing
the lift.  I bet a 40W iron and NO time (it will heat in no time, really...)
would cause a lot
less damage.

Many old timers agree...
