No need to bend the legs, no need to do wire stripping. I did this in 30 minutes casually… I guess the full halve will take around 1 hour

My guess is you pre tin the switch pin, get a blob of solder on your iron and have the diode in tweezers at the ready then put it all together. It only needs a small bead of solder (and flux).
yes this is how I did it!
Right! I can see how it would be fast then. “Just” tin all the pins, and when all the pins are tinned have your solder in a fixed position and then move your iron from solder to pin, stick the diode, and repeat. Cool!
The real secret is flux. As usual. Flux will always help.
I soldered on things yesterday doing this, but not tinning the pins first. I fluxed them instead. Then I just picked up solder on the iron tip, used that.
I don’t have much experience, so maybe this is too slobby, but for now, things are in place and connected.
wondering if it is faster for you?
Good question!
