I was wondering if you folks have any suggestions about how to solder items without unsoldering adajcent pieces. i was thinking a heat sink but do not know what to use. As an example of size PE 2 cm flak ammo holders with dividers is what I would be making. thanks

Micromark.com #60903,#60929 and #83691 they are different styles of clips that can be used as heat sinks....unless they are too big of course

Alligator clips work well too. If they happen to be attached to a lead they work even better.

Heat sinks work, alligator clips, Aluminum is a better heat sink than steel
