I have a new solder iron that is temperature 
controlled in degrees C.
What temp should I set the iron for work on  the 
K3? I am using 60/40
rosin core, small diameter solder. While using 
solder wick to clean out
the holes from the 12 dc mod kit I used 300c and 
dipped the wick in
solder flux. I pulled the solder wick across the 
land when the solder
was liquid, it cleaned the holes on the first pass.
