Huh? is that true. I just have a few beers. HAHA j/k

Oh also I would recommend the solder paste over the liquid as the paste is more manageable. The liquid gets all over everything and harder to apply to just what you want. Use a x-acto knife or a tooth pick with the paste. With the PSX chips you will have a easy go of things and if the mod doesn't come with its own wire (which most PSX chips come with wire and solder) use 30 AWG kynar wire for everything. No need for 22 AWG for power and ground with a PSX chip. You shouldn't need the fiberglass pen for the psx mobo either but if you do need to scrap some just use a nice new x-acto blade very lightly. A 15 watt iron is all you should need with the smallest point you can find. Radio shack has a good 15 watt iron and different tips you can buy. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
