Man, I feel Greg's pain. I did the same thing for YEARS until a guy at a computer show showed me that flux is basically MAGIC. It's one of those things that seems so simple but nobody tells you until you're already frustrated.

My buddy Greg spent years trying to get his old Amiga working with a cheap soldering iron from a flea market. He finally took it to a repair shop in Astoria and the guy spent 20 minutes showing him how to use flux and a proper tip. Greg said he felt like an idiot afterward but at least his computer works now.
