Solder Paste and Tinning Questions!

2005-12-02 by shollzc

Hey guys, I found this group a few days ago and really like it.  it
seems to be a little difficult to navigate through since I am used to
a "Forum Layout"  

I have been doing the TTS system from pulsar for a while now with
great success, but now i want to start tinning and doing some surface
mount.

I have a few questions for you all, that i have searched on but found
numerous different topics with no real answer..

1.  Where is the best place to get some solder paste and a fine needle
syringe for smt components.  And do you thnk I should make a reflow
oven or just use a hot air solder station to mount components.

2.  As far as tinning goes, what seems to be the best bang for the
buck?  Tinnit, Cool-amp, or solder paste reflow.  What kind of solder
paste do you use for tinning and where do I get it?  Also what do you
reflow it with?  Heat gun, or oven?


Thanks for the help
Craig
