15W is good, 25W isn't bad though. I've done LEDs with a 45 watt

yeah, the problem is that its a flathead tip, i need a fine tip. but ill need anew soldering ironm since i cant find the right size of tip for my iron. any cheapish recommendations

I went to my local hardware store and bought mine it's a craftsman one. Im not very pleased with it. You can find really cheap ones on eBay, or Amazon.
