60/40 solder ftw
desoldering braid
two sided tape.
clean spot on desk (ok, clean-ish)
That's about it. Good light source and fresh eyes and it's win-mods.  |
Crimper is because I have OCD and use it for other stuff. My front teeth are dull anyways from biting fishing line to change lures.
The reason I want a nice station is because of a little boo boo I had with my first mod. Somehow the switch got flicked to 30w when I decided that the joint wasn't good enough. I ended up accidently removing the resistor.
Mod still works though. Vcore is just about .1v higher than stock with the trimmer turned all the way up.

When my tip gets dirty I just take scissors and scrape the tip till its copper again. Works like a charm
