Don't worry if you solder two pins together. Use the solder wick to remove the excess solder. Place
the wick on top of the joined pins, & apply the tip of the soldering iron on top of the wick. Almost
immediately you'll see the solder flow into the wick. Remove the soldering iron and the wick.
Usually you'll find that there is still sufficient solder on the pads & the pins that you won't have to
re-apply any solder.
Repeat this process for IC2.
Once both IC's are soldered, thoroughly clean the PCB around both ICs, especially if you've used a
flux pen. Take your magnifying glass/loupe & inspect the soldering on the IC pins. Check no pins
are shorted. Using solder wick to repair any joints that are shorted.
