Some of the best MK work I've done has been with Terry's method. 

Unfortunately there's a variable that crept in, that being the equipment. My 
old faithful heatgun gave up the ghost! Three new guns and they're all junk. 
One howls like a banshee and all three deliver heat somewhere besides where 
they're aimed and each at different temps. I hate buying things that then need be 
rebuild / engineered for them to work properly! 

Irons aren't much better. As someone in this thread mentioned, most have 
uneven heat distribution over the sole. Some have a broad temp range for a given 
setting. The low cost types with the bi-metal control are usually the widest. 
I've had one with a solid state temp control fail high and flame a sock within 
seconds. All in all a wide variation in performance of the usual MK 
application equipment.

I suspect that those with good equipment have good experiences with MK and 
vice versa. If you're lucky enough to be the former, be wary if you replace 
equipment.
