well i've only modded 4 v9s and i have never scraped the vias i use liquid flux on a q-tip.
then after that i just tine my iron and touch it to each one and the solder sticks good i then tine the wire touch tip to the wire and via for less than 3 seconds and wire is on.
have'nt had one console back so it's a pretty good connection.
