Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Components stick to tools



I've been placing some 0805 SMT components on PCB's this weekend. Use
tweezers to place the component and a dental pick to fine tune its
position on the board.

Often times the component will stick to a leg of the tweezer or to the
dental pick. Very annoying to get the component in the right spot and be
unable to "let go" of it.

What makes it stick? Anything to do to lessen the sticking effect of
components to tools? I cleaned the tweezers and dental pick with
alcohol, but to no avail.

Thanks.

Steve K8JQ
