Hello Todd,

    My recent experiences with soldering might cheer you up. 

    Like you my success rate was abysmal. 

    I thought I was doing everything right but things just didn't seem
    to work out. 

    So I contacted a local Orchid member and asked him if I could watch
    him solder a few pieces. 

    It was immediately obvious that I was approaching the soldering
    properly. 

    My next attempts were much better almost immediately, and I
    continued to improve rapidly. 

    I can only assume that knowing for sure (rather than just assuming)
    that I was doing everything right made me relax a little, and, of
    course, I was now much more confident. 

    Whatever, the explanation I have not looked back. 

    Hang in there and perhaps do what I did. 

Regards

Rob Jupp
