I'm about to order a solder iron for the first time. I've researched quite a bit and people have recommended 25-30 watt with 60/40 core. Truthfully I don't plan to solder in the future, so cheaper the better. For someone who had experience with this, what do you recommend? Is this setup good?

CodingThanks for noting that! Is the wattage alright for the job then?

KyeonjinThere's a youtube video by "WhiteFireDragon" where he assembles his ergodox (

). Studying this, and reading posts (some by him), I've arrived at the following for an ergodox assembly tool kit; keep the soldering iron on setting 2. This is what I've ordered. http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/28EJTUH0M3INZ/
Though "WhiteFireDragon" has that very iron, and recommends it to people, he has a more expensive one he actually uses in the video, as seen here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2RKVFGGZDXOXQ/
Perhaps that will help you, as it even includes a surface to perform the work on (the baking mat).

KyeonjinI tried to give you informations you have not written in your question and they ARE useful! I could give you the answer to your second question but you seem to know everything better so ask anyone other.

nacitarWould you post a link to the silicone mat that you had on your Amazon wish list earlier? I forgot to make a note of it.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found it.
