There was an article in a recent Dutch elector mag about hacking a cheap
small oven for reflow soldering smd packages. Nice project....
I tried putting a PCB on a very hot iron upside down and that seems to
work too. It depends on the soldering paste quality used. (low melting
temp)
I bought a small amount (+/-300g) at a local electronics dump store ($5)
Some others suggest a cheap electric cooker and drop the PCB on that
for a short while.
Just trial and error I guess.
