again, thanks

Hmmm, practice does make perfect but there's a small trick to it. Try trimming your leads FIRST before you solder. So instead of deformed blob with leads protruding out, you get a perfect round blob of solder joint.

Oh and it pays using good solder wire. I'm using a Kester 245 for the job.

EDIT: Kester 245 is an euthetic blend solder. It does not cost a lot of money. I got it for around RM25 per 1/2kg roll (Around 7USD) in my country.
