      Anyone have a good soldering iron + stand recommendation? I try to stick with 50w+

      If you haven't already found one, I picked my last one up via Adafruit... Whiiiich has been discontinued

      Aye, get one with some balls, no 15w waiting forever garbage.

      I have 2: a 30W that is too weak for just about everything (waiting game) and a 60W which is just about perfect. I usually use it on smaller wires (18-22 AWG) and I haven't had things melting on me, nor have I had to wait long to solder.

        50-60w is usually the sweet spot for sure. Any recommendations?

                    knock off wellers - they're all over Amazon. See if you can get one with adjustable temp + bonus if it comes with extra tips etc + bonus if tips are weller compatible

                    something like this, but MOAR powaahhh

                      I could actually use a good desoldering pump too now that I think about it.

                        Desoldering pumps are nice, but I've never found one that will entirely clear away all the solder. They do a great job of clearing the majority of it away so you don't have to use as much of the expensive solder wick.

                                        This is fairly common. There are some small/organizations that will take them in to increase the population in their favor. A religious organization in Utah (not the obvious one) was famous for it.

                                          Thinking of how she's gets into this like a caterpillar crawling through a hollow log...

                                          http://www.smh.com.au/content/dam/images/g/t/v/w/5/k/image.related.articleLeadwide.620x349.gtvvgh.png/1484949750920.jpg

                                          No zippers or buttons. So you know she's doing some goofy ass maneuvering to get into this dress..

                                            Thinking of how she's gets into this like a caterpillar crawling through a hollow log...

                                            http://www.smh.com.au/content/dam/images/g/t/v/w/5/k/image.related.articleLeadwide.620x349.gtvvgh.png/1484949750920.jpg

                                            No zippers or buttons. So you know she's doing some goofy ass maneuvering to get into this dress..

                                            Buttons are probably under the flaps.
