I hope that adding to Bob's answer isn't too presumptuous....



Using insufficient heat/power is much more likely to damage stuff than

'too much'. Reason: if the iron isn't hot enough, or is  so under

powered or under massed that it can't get the joint hot quickly, heat

can flow into easily damaged components & raise their temp to damaging

levels before the joint gets hot enough to flow solder. (Same thing can

happen if the joint or iron isn't clean.)


	


   Dead on right sir. It's sorta like having your cubmaster having

   you "start off easy" with a dull knife . . . lest you hurt yerself.

   Saw more folks get buggered trying to force a cut with dull

   knives than those who could concentrate on doing it right

   because skill and not the tool was the limiting factor.
