That's silly. Just buy a cheap hot air system. I got one of these with nine different nozzles for under $150 including shipping, and build my own PCB preheater to speed-up work:

Wow... what a load of schit

I'm surprised that the makers of SmartBoard electronic whiteboards haven't sent their lawyers after them to change that awful name.

We solder our smt (including small BGAs ) in a toaster oven! Its cheap, and works a treat. All you need is a cheap thermocouple meter to go with it.

Can also be done on a WalMart hotplate with excellent results.

This is the kind of devices I solder all the time in just minutes
Even though I can hand solder down to .3-.4mm with a standard ion he wins because I’m 21

I wish we had him in our service department
