Since the LED tower, I’ve had a number of thoughts on how best to use the balloon. As much as I love the Drunken Balloon idea, I’m not there yet and it’s a big balloon. I’ve fallen in love with the idea of adding it to my solder station build. It’s an interesting focus and focal point, and gives me a direction for the rest of the build. Also liking the idea of a leather overlay, rather than clay.
I should probably increase the ventilation before I huff any more flux-infused smoke. Still not pretty, but also not awful. Should be functional enough to build whatever I need. Time to find out if my LED rings are dud free. I tried not to keep the heat on any on spot for too long, but holding together two pins is different from setting to the board. Fingers and toes crossed.
