Richard,
Most of the time, liberal use of flux and some solder braid will clean up most problems.

  Subject: [AVR-Chat] Placing and soldering SMD parts for prototypes - OT?


  Hi Folks,

  Up until today, I've been fairly successful in soldering SMD parts for
  my prototypes but it looks like I've got a short in one of the QFN32
  parts. How do you place them? I guess my hand shook a bit when I was
  placing the thing and now one of the Vcc pads are shorted to a GND pin.

  I've managed to get the 0603 parts down without much problem but this
  QFN32 part is tough. I've placed the ATMEGA48 (TQFP package) and it
  soldered fine.

  I'm looking for some suggestions/words of wisdom on what other folks
  do for their prototypes.

  Thanks,

  Richard Cooke
