SMD SOLDERING PRACTICE IMPROVING

"Practice makes perfect."

Well better at least. I have come a long way and still learning. My first TH soldering kit about 4 years ago didn't work and now I am doing SMD soldering!

Lessons learned:

1) use flux more often
2) take frequent breaks only doing a few components at a time
3) use thin solder
4) apply tip of soldering iron to pad long enough to let the solder flow onto the component without overheating the component.
5) use less solder

Stay tuned:)
