What size (wattage) iron are you using and what kind of tip?

For such as IC-pins and ¼W. resistors, a 15 Watt Ungar with iron-plated 1/8" 
chisel-tip is fine.  For such as where I want to solder a 6-32 or larger 
screw-head to one side of a PCB, I use a 25 W. Ungar with an iron-plated "stub" 
chisel tip.  A "diamond-point" tip is useful, too.  NO pure-copper tips, as they 
simply dissolve-away in molten solder very quickly!
