Re: Surface mount components

The link above shows a method of holding components in place while soldering, it's on one of the last pages. And yes, if your going to do this but a pair of magnifying glasses. i have a magnifying visor that goes up to 4 times magnification. I don't use solder paste, i just heat up some solder until i get a small bead on my soldering iron tip. then i touch it to the part to be soldered (very carefully)
