We taught a SMT soldering class at the Atlanta hackerspace ( http://freesideatlanta.org ) focusing on using stencils and solder paste. Here are some shots of a circuit being reflowed on a skillet and inside a toaster oven. Surface tension is able to pull the chips into alignment.

  • Can you reflow "some" components and then come back and do more later? Or is it a must to ALL the components at one time? Also -- is it possible to also have through holes for through hole components to add later (or will they fill up with solder)? (Depends on hole size?)

    thanks !

  • @vododragon processors can take temps of up to 250 C, and still work afterword.

  • Fav.

    Period.

  • @cloudsifter11 I am level 69 because that is what I do with your brother best.

  • @UberLifeTroll true geeks don't use racial slurs. Epic Fail. What level DungeonMaster are you?

  • Doesn't extended temperature exposure at and past the element operating temperatures destroy the components?

  • The world should respect the Geek.

  • Nice reflow, first one is clean and perfect, second had a little bridge though.

  • Just one dumb question, how do the components survive?
