Lead solder has a nice sheen off it when cleaned...

Sure Johnny you would be time served at the soldering given the time spent with the iron in the left hand and the solder in the other way back in the day 😁

My soldering was exemplary back in the day, even on fine pitch stuff as us left handers are more skilled at the dexterity than you right handers ever if we did look awkward.

Now, it's not worth a fúck but stil good enough to reflow the connectors on MK2 ford focus dash boards which I get every once in a while from a few local mechanics.
A crowd in East Belfast were charging almost £200 for a five minute job.

Two good hands, but two left feet..  ;D

I bust up the play for those who could kick a ball straight.
