MOTM

I'm curious, what type of iron are you using?  The advice the others
gave is great, but in my experience, I've noticed that if your iron is
too cold (or too low powered) some components can act like big ol'
heatsinks, cooling everything down and making the solder flow poorly, if
at all.  This is why I love my Weller WTCPT (thanks for the
reccomendation on the site, Paul!)  42 watts, but it doesn't bake
everything it touches, as it's temperature controlled.  What a friggin'
difference between that and a radio shack ~13 watt pencil iron, which
incidentally i NEVER touched an MOTM kit with =]
