I have actually only ever soldered once in my life Tuesday I work 10a-9p though so it would have to be after work

I'm wiring up a tree as part of my only xmas decorations
I have to solder 300 leds together in a very specific way each has 6 connection points
so 1800+ solder points, yay!

you should solder in led's that can change color and create an app so your friends can all screw with the tree color
Lily Romano

So octoplush (named Mona) is a Squishable product. I 'unno if ya'll have ever squished something from them, but it's super high quality. I am pleased.
David Castner
@davidjcastner
Are they all named mona?
Lily Romano

They are all bagged up nicely. I did fiddle a bag around so I could see a hang tag and it was mona as well.
