Now I'm getting back into this set. First I'm going to repair the remote, after I took it apart, I saw that one button was cracked. I'm going to try taking it apart and gluing it back together with some epoxy.

Before I get going on this set, I have some questions on soldering on circuit boards. What should I be doing to avoid lifting traces and making a mess of the boards, is there a particular technique involved in removing, and soldering to the boards? Also what is a particularly good soldering iron/gun for working on the boards? I've never had any trouble soldering to the old style point to point wiring, but never really managed to get the hang of working on the circuit boards.
