I can ID with JP on this. Not that I'm an expert solderer (Paul S. gave
me a C- (if I remember correctly) on one of my first kits). Switching to
a good soldering iron helped me out considerably; less frustrating, better
solder joints (ok, I'm probably up to a C+ on Paul's scale), faster
assembly - well worth the expense. Jeff
