[sdiy] Need help with a SMD kit (OT?)

[Quincas Moreira]

Totally agree about the two eyes thing...  I got a large enough Glass
magnifier to look through with both eyes and the difference is night and
day compared to a single eye one...


Ian, I also solder form above, at least resistors and diodes, certainly
cuts down on all the flipping. I do touch up from the bottom after clipping
the leads though, sometimes the solder doesn't make it all the way
through...
