    If something needs to be held, figure out a way. Tape it to something, vice grips ( very lightly if it's a switch type thing ), fasten in place and then solder.

    Lots of ways, just think on it a bit.

    Quoted from catboxer:

    Reminds me of when I was a kid and used to crimp on lead split shot fishing weights with my teeth. People are hysterical about solder. I love it whenever someone links out to that pin site with the long ass list of ways solder is going to kill you and your family. That lead free stuff is crap, I refuse to use it. I guess everyone has something to paranoid about these days.

    Everything I've ever used to clean, repair, glue, whatever, has killed a rat in a lab somewhere.

    We clearly need better rats.

    And because of idiots, things like spray adhesives have vomit inducers. Doesn't stop the idiots. But sure makes working with those adhesives a lot more fun.

    You only have two hands?

    Weird world.

    He didn't grow up near a nuclear power plant. So he's more challenged than the rest of us.
