SMT Work

[Phil G4UDU]

If you  want to take a serious look at SMT work, all you need is one of
the Chinese hot air rework stations.

You can get a variety of nozzles  for them to cover everything from
single components to quad pack multi pin IC's

They are always on EBay - one is currently listed on item number  
350072612116

Just get an old pcb and practice taking components on and off before
attacking  anything valuable !

Brilliant, I never even thought of eBay - I just purchased that -  
Thank you.
I already have a temp controlled iron so didn't really need the one  
that comes with, but I'll see what its like anyway (I could always  
sell it on eBay :-)
