I started out using a Radio Shack 40 watt soldering iron with onbaord desoldering bulb, it seemed to take forever to heat the solder up to the melting point, and in the process heating everything next to it got hot, then I switched to a 100/140 watt soldering gun, the solder melts much quicker and I don't get everything so HOT, I then use the RS iron with desoldering bulb at the same time to suck away the solder. Can someone give me pointers on this, and is it better to use the 100/140 gun as it heats the solder quicker Icon_confused:
