>I must say that I disagree with you about the solder and a very fine tip.

Yes I am aware of people that use a large tip, and wipe it down the pins of
an IC, and that solder paste is useful, but there are times when you need to
lift a leg on a chip because of a necessary circuit change, and the pin has
a track that goes under the chip ....

Large tips, paste etc work OK when starting with a fresh board, and loading
the components. The problem arises when you get to rework :)
