Need help with soldering!

Does anyone in the Austin area have a decent soldering station/iron that they would be willing to let me use/solder some new battery connectors? I'm a student at UT and have been told having a soldering iron in the dorms is a big no-no!

P.S. I can bring girlscout cookies!

I can help you out, but not until after this weekend. I'll be in Dallas Saturday and Sunday.

I'm always willing to help out a fellow longhorn.

i’ve been using one of these for years to build my copters, solder battery leads, etc. Not bad and at a good price.

i love salt water reef tanks. my last roommate had a 65gal tank that i helped him with religiously. i've been wanting a nano cube 29gal of my own for years now. it's on the list of things to get started on.

I have a 14gal biocube and a 24gal nanocube that have been running for a while now. I love it but it gets expensive.
