As additional advice, be sure to find or acquire a fine tip (wordplay sometimes suck) for your welder. This will make things much easier, believe me. If you are having trouble soldering connections (which are very small connections, trust me on that) it is normal. Best thing you can do is to minimize the time that the welder is put in contact with the workpiece / PCB so that has not been damaged by the heat. If you have a braid of copper as Chem-Wik, it is very useful in the desoldering process. A solder sucker may also work well, but I have found that they have no affinity for the silly welding (just a personal preference). Anyway, good luck and have fun!
