[QUOTE="335d, post: 8047615, member: 13498"] I have a cheap station like the one in the link. Comes with a 0.8mm tip, and you can buy replacement irons, tips etc. For a circuit board, and especially soldering to plastic buttons, a temp of less than 400 is ideal. That particular one is available in various brands. no need for a metcal or weller for occasional use. That particular one is out of stock, but they have one with digital readout for a tenner more. Normally I wouldn’t pay extra for that feature for a cheap iron. You may be able to get something similar elsewhere. Buy yourself a solder sucker and sone insulating tape, contact cleaner and cable ties if you need to make the free delivery minimum [/QUOTE]
