might consider changing to a tip with more surface area than increasing temp. 600F is HOT but not if only a bit of the iron is in contact. not enough heat transfer.
P - yeah, there's too much thermal mass and its tricky not to cook the wire insulation getting those chess pieces nice and hot. like Shannon's reference there. good one!
wish we had the ability to get all these builds and a soldering iron and Valvestorm's experience and inventory in a room. imagine how quickly we'd knock this stuff out. Phil's chops and practice bomb. i'd travel for that one!
