Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Homebrew PCBs

I was never very good at soldering when I was young. Now that I am in my late 50's and arthritis has started to affect my hands, my soldering skills have become worse. In particular I spend more time repairing solder bridges than the actual soldering. All this heat on the PCB results in a few pads lifting off.

This is where the eyelets could come in. I would like to use eyelets as rivets, forcing pads back into place that have peeled up. I've seen some on-line but the prices seem rather high. Does anyone know of a source of reasonably priced eyelets?
