Soldering iron? Nice.

Yeah i have an adjustable temp one that has a hole bunch of heads to it. Trying it out on Pmags because there cheap

What if you sanded it a little?

Using Pmags makes great sense, plus the areas are sectioned off. That must help to keep the stipling contained. Might have to give it a try. Do you use a lower temp setting vs higher?

I did mine with similar results but it was only a single setting soldering iron. Just gotta make sure you keep the iron moving.

Hotter is better from what i can tell. $12 and you get a bunch of surface area to practice on.

From personal experience, I took a single temp soldering iron to my things. The feel when you stipple a M3 PMAG is very close to the M&P 9 frame. I practiced on an airsoft M&P and that cheap chinese plastic melted like butter and smoked a lot.
I have no idea how the pro's do such a nice job. I'm pretty sure they aren't using cheap soldering irons like me tho... Despite a couple hours of practice its still came out ugly but, at least it works and I didn't screw anything up.
