RE: [AVR-Chat] solder paste vs solder wire

Hello,
Thomas.
You
can get a flux pen with a felt tip that selectively applies a light consistency,
clear flux where you want it. Apply to the pads and the leads.
Then all you have to do is put a small amount of soder on the tip of your iron
and the flux will wick the solder over the pad and lead. This makes it
easy to in your SMT IC in place with one hand and solder with the other.
This approach has worked well for me.
Also,
make certain you have a very fine tip on your soldering iron and some very light
gauge solder.
Good
luck.

Subject: [AVR-Chat] solder paste vs solder wire
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
