Professor Dinglehoffer is right. The 300 is a lot of work but it's not 
difficult, just follow the directions and take your time. As far as soldering 
larger ICs, I try to use a medium to high heat on my iron (so I'm only on any 
one pin for a second or two). I also will only solder a few pins of any IC at 
one time, letting the IC cool down for a minute before I go back to solder a 
second round of three or four pins.

Good luck!
