Came for the roasting. Left with a load of practical tips to improve my soldering.

Yes. Although I recommend getting the stainless steel version. It can work on anything even an induction hob. It’s the one I take travelling.

Me too. And a lot of chatter (how are people managing to burn the coffee!?). Classic. Stable. Easy to maintain. Need to take care to get the best results.

thanks! from your comment I think I’ve managed to track it down. if anyone else is interested: https://shop.pianoworks.com/alfred-music-elementary-method-for-the-piano-opus.html

How would you reflow the solder?

With an iron? Or a heat gun? What would be the best approach for something like this with lots of tiny surface mounts?
