I'm working on a DYI battery monitor project and the possibility of using an INA169 came up. That's a SOT-23 packaged component.
I have minimal soldering skills so I'm looking for some advice:
Can I solder this with 0.031" solder? It's the skinniest I have.
What kind of board do I solder it to? Currently I'm breadboard only.

0.031" is a bit fat for soldering SOT-23-5, but you may be able to do it. I would recommend 0.015" .
What kind of board do I solder it to? Currently I'm breadboard only.
The sort of board that you solder an SMT component to for breadboarding is called breadboard adapter. See old threads: this and this. Breadboard adapters for SOT-23-5 are not hard to come by (this and this for example).
