Ok, so I've started my first soldering project; I'm replacing some of the caps on my Zaxxon's audio board, as prescribed in the game's KLOV info. I've had no issues thusfar & I've cleanly removed all the caps I've needed to, and I'm waiting for the new caps to come in the mail.
When they show up, I need to buy some solder...but I don't know what size/type. I'm guessing something fairly thin because the pads are so close together on these small caps...and I don't want to be globbing solder all over. Any recommendations?
Also, with this new solder, is there a preferred working temp? I noticed that for removing the caps I needed the soldering iron turned up all the way to the 450 range.
Thanks guys.
