I found that the only thing that fit between TQFP pins was a X-Acto knife. Good for cleaning between pins/traces, and lining up pins to traces, careful not to cut any traces. I just used my fingers to hold the TQFP in place, but I too need a magnifying glass or maybe a microscope.
I'll need a new solder iron soon, I may get one off ebay with a heat gun & variable temp. I think I saw them for around $120 usd. Matt.
