solder paste vs solder wire

2003-12-23 by nangkon

Hi there,

I wonder if solder paste is easier for soldering
atmega128 on a board. I tried solder wire and
the result is not too good and bridges formed
frequently. It could be that I am using wire
that is too thick. And my inexperience on soldering
SMT parts definitely did not help at all. :)

If solder paste will do wonders, any recommended
brand. I can use just regular iron with it, right?
No hot air blower required?

thanks
thomas
