 Soldering surface mount ICs can be surprisingly easy using the drag soldering technique. To solder this QFP package to its new home, I'll use some .015 inch solder, an iron with a flat screwdriver, aka chisel tip, some no clean flux, and a stick vise. Start by positioning the IC on the board and anchoring it in place by tacking in pins onto opposing corners. Apply flux across the pins to help spread the solder and keep things clean. Melt a few millimeters of solder wire onto the flat side of the iron's tip. Then briefly drag the tip across the pins to distribute the solder and remove any bridges that might appear. Looks pretty good. I could have used a little less solder, but otherwise, good to go.
