Sorry, Charlie, for heavily contradicting. I have used that stuff myself and it may have its advantages when there is no other way. But using it also reqiures basic skills which "people who don't trust their coordination" are are lacking.
Is there anything that debars people from learning to use a soldering iron properly? Often tinkering has a negative connotation. This is because people use pliers instead of wrenches for example. Unsuitable tools always leave their marks, and even more so in the hands of unskilled people. We are all non-professionals here, but you can count me out if this thread propagates amateurish advice. I have just finished work on a Canonet S that definitely has seen incompetent repair attempts, everything, even the back door latch had been messed up and if this is what quick tips of the avove sort are leading to it is by no means funny.
