hotty Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Get yourself a large hands free magnifying glass. A small hot air gun will help in both removal and applying. I have done a couple of smd's and boy you need a steady hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_fjs Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I've only just started with SMD but have found that solder paste works well for me. Flux the pads, dribble some paste and just sweep your iron across. Works ok for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
