How long does it take? I've seen a writeup that says roughly, lots of flux, get a blob of solder on the tip of the iron and sweep it across a row of pins. If all goes well, it just works. I haven't tried it. --------- It was many years ago when I noticed that my eyes getting older had crossed over the pins getting smaller. -- These are my opinions.
