Ahh i see said the blind man...
As far as tips go i believe that its
Mainly the skill level your at (if you soldered the board you must be pretty good)
You using flux? I dont use it personaly but it can help hold the "bitz" together
Have you got 'helping hands'? I use duct tap3 but the principal is the same.
