solder question.

[jim]

I've just received some soic to dip adapters I had sent away for
and didn't realize just how small the pins were on the soic IC's. Can
anyone give any advice on what type of iron,temps and solder size I
should use to place these soic IC's onto the DIP adapters? The
equipment I have now is way to bulky for this fine work I appreciate
any help I could get. Thanks again. jm

I can't answer those questions, but I will advise you to have plenty of
desoldering braid sitting around. you'll probably find it invaluable.
