Ah, yes. I took a soldering class back in college. Fun stuff. Learned all these techniques and then some. I wish I had access to all the proper tools out in the field. Would make life much easier sometimes. I never learned about not tinning wires under compression, though. Good to know for future reference.  |  IP: Logged
