I have found that its just as easy to use a toaster over to do this.  Either way works

is it possible to solder the emiter onto the star in an oven? or would this damage the emitter? by oven i mean a conventional kitchen oven? set to like 200 degrees.

@monkey08642 he set his heat gun to 620F, I don't think a 200F oven will do the job. If that were the case you'd melt the solder after running the LED for awhile.

@wadefulp you can get ovens that go that hot, mine does, goes to 250C (not F)
