@typhlosion What sort of stuff specifically? We've found that a normal soldering iron plus a good solder sucker (the ENGINEER SS-02 is the best we've used) and solder wick (MG Chemicals makes good stuff) has always been enough for us
occasionally we'll use a hot air station but that's not usually necessary
