way easier and quite cheap: just use a hotplate and solder paste ($30 hotplate, $5 solder paste)

- officialchicken 15y agoYes! And toaster ovens work well. Get some high-temp red spray paint too, so that the hotplate/toaster oven is clearly marked and never ends up in a kitchen.
- regomodo 15y agoDon't even need a hotplate. Any soldering iron will a concave tip, lots of flux & a touch of solder. Takes 4 strokes/drags and some extra flux afterwards to remove bridges (usually the 1st 2 pins on each drag). It's surprisingly easy and i've had no issues on up to tqfp144's.
