    No, my dad did. I soldered the last led though and even then it took me a while and was a messy solder.

    FWIW, I did find tinning the star easier to do in the end. I didn't use to do that, but definitely see the benefit now. My first few connections are always messy, then I get in a groove. The iron always seems to get hotter or just work better after I do a few as well. Maybe it's just me.

    This is true, I noticed that as my dad was doing it the soldering got quicker and quicker. Now to wait till christmas for my gf to let me mount it......
