  • I’m a big fan of poster putty (also called Blue Tack, basically the semi sticky putty you use to hang posters) for holding small objects. Helping hands are great for certain things, but it takes time to position every object just right.

    If I have a bunch of short wires to tin, for instance, i roll out a little snake of the putty and place the wires all in a row. Then I can just touch the iron to each piece as needed. It’s really handy stuff so I keep a ball in my soldering kit.
