Thank you!

I did apply some DeOxit to the pads, but I'm not so sure about the second issue. I'll set IC's on something flat and see if I can spot any of the leads out of plane.

Unless it's extremely difficult I'll be very motivated to solder in the LP board, just to put an end to this nonsense. But I'll happily let Bernhard lead the way on testing that approach :-)
