I kinda suck at soldering. I'm not sure if I have the right equipment (radio shak iron with a kida fat tip, some thin soldering wire, and some flux), but either way I need to figure out how to solder a TSSOP package that I have gotten from microchip. (Free sample of the MRF49XA). I turned to youtube and found this video of some one just dragging an iron across the pins of an SOIC and soldering it perfectly. What do I need to be able to do this with that TSSOP?
See about 15 seconds to 1 minute on this video. It looks like he just has a felt tip "marker" full of flux and just drags as iron I guess with some solder melted to the tip accross the pins.

Any general advice on soldering a TSSOP package?
