HEAT is the answer - ballast - I use a $50 cheapo Weller
solder station and have no problems because I use the
biggest, fattest tip available for it. Just plain need a fat
tip. Wattage is not the issue, but ballast. Learned that
from a old, old, old ham who could do them in freezing
Michigan snow storms. Amazing, but true. My cheapo
Weller does it fine - provided I use the right tip.
