Ooh will that work? heheheHam fisted isn't precise... Inept is a better one. I know how to solder so believe me beginner mistakes are NOTHING compared to a few of my ham-fist solder jobs. I'm talking about the late night fixing wiring on a vehicle and you're tired and pissed and you just wrap the wire tips with a twisty tie from a bread bag and torch the sh*t out of them while applying eighth inch solder till its pouring off and then wrap it in about 20 layers of cheap electrical tape to cover up all the jagged edges type of ham-fistedness.
Yeah it will only get worse, enjoy it while you can.
I was actually looking at the little mini butane torches on fleaBay. Thinking about getting one for repairs in remote places. I will try to get better at normal soldering skills first though, before I attempt to use a torch to do do it.
I have a good list of skills to learn and work to do on the MB over the winter.
