• smaller the solder, the better.
• soldering wick helps.
• applying solder to the chip then using the wick to remove the bridges makes life easier. Going pin by pin makes life hard. Wick = easy
• Using a toothpick is helpful doing the capacistors.
• More light, the better.
• positioning small things sucks very large balls

I found my .05" solder. Currently attempting to do small bits and parts.

I'm not sure if I actually need to add more solder on the surface mounted joints or not. I can just hold down the soldering iron on the spot for a few seconds and BAM, done.

Found an interesting thing on the board. Capacistors c1-16 are listed as .047uf on the circuit diagram and on the board but the Bill of materials lists it as a .1uf. Emailed Grant inquiring about this.
