That ain't gonna work ;-)

Brilliant. ;-)

But the very idea of using a gas flame type iron on a PCB fills me with
horror. Perhaps for an emergency repair in the field - but to build a
project as in that pic?


I thought soldering to the top of the board rather than the underneath was the worse error. We use a hot air gun to solder and desolder some things but never a flame.
