    I found that my soldering iron couldn't get the heat in quick enough, it is a fairly fine tip. I have a supply of LEDs.

    Ok I only have a skinny soldering iron so scrap that idea.
    Could I let the led heat up by leaving it running for a while? Would it get hot enough?

    I didn't think that LED's generated heat.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
