Thanks, aBUGSworstnightmare.
I see what you mean. I'll clean it up, thanks.
Some of what you see on the board may be hot glue residue from the foam used for the barometer, the rest maybe a contaminated alcohol mix in the paint brush I use. I do wash them in alcohol.
I'll try and find a smaller tip. I have the SP23L Weller, which doesn't go too small I think. It's hard to find out which tips fit in which Wellers. I'm using the 1/8-inch I think, which is 3.75mm. There is a 1/62 (0.409) for a Weller, but it's unclear as to whether it's for my iron. I might need another iron.
I'll use some copper tape to remove the bridge.
I also have a hot air station, and it might be the Chip Quik solder that got blown over the GPS module. I was using it to add the coax socket.
