13:47 < ScribbleJ> markvandenborre, you can order something in the meantime that is both cheap and fun to practice on. There are awesome beginner soldering kits with fun outcomes on adafruit.com and sparkfun.com
13:48 < markvandenborre> ScribbleJ: I'd rather buy quality tools
13:48 < ScribbleJ> Oh
13:48 < ScribbleJ> I thought you meant you had the tools already ordered.
13:48 < ScribbleJ> Is money a concern?
13:48 < markvandenborre> no, I have old ones lying around
13:49 < markvandenborre> I dond't need overkill, but if I don't spend it on reprap & friends, it goes to the taxman anyway
13:49 < Kliment> You need flux (as paste ideally), solder (the thinnest you can get), and a temp-controlled soldering iron
13:49 < ScribbleJ> I use an aoyue 968 for soldering, which is very capable and nice, and I suggest buying the higher quality hakko tips to put on it, which fit great.
13:49 < ScribbleJ> And then yes, flux and LEADED solder; don't bother with the ROHS, lead-free modern crap that makes soldering hard.
13:49 < Kliment> ScribbleJ: Packed and addressed
13:50 -!- ^Dust [~^Dust@2001:4428:253:0:216:eaff:feda:b0b0] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
13:50 < Kliment> ScribbleJ: Oh yeah, everything in these boards is rohs except for the solder
13:50 < markvandenborre> one big reason to ask in this channel is that it might be interesting to have more relevant info in the wiki

13:51 < ScribbleJ> You can find this even cheaper elsewhere, possibly.
13:51 < ScribbleJ> It's far more than you need, but a nice kit if you plan to do more than build a reprap.
13:51 < ScribbleJ> There are better kits, but not, I think, for the price.
13:52 < markvandenborre> actually, I'm not really planning to do a lot more, but if that works well, it's perfectly acceptable.... as I said, mr. Taxman is rather greedy in .be
